They were instrumental in developing some of the philosophies I believe in. They were smart, they were tough, and they taught us how to win on and off the field.<\/p>\n<h3>What skills or life lessons did you learn at Rochester?<\/h3>\n<p>I learned time management, problem solving, and how to develop relationships.<\/p>\n<h3>You\u2019ve been an assistant under two legends\u2014Bill Belichick with the Patriots and Nick Saban at Alabama. How are they different, and how are they similar?<\/h3>\n<p>Both are committed to the organization and have core principles and values they believe in. They are definitely very similar. I would say the main difference is that Nick is probably a better dresser.<\/p>\n<h3>How is coaching professional athletes different from coaching in college or even high school and grade school?<\/h3>\n<p>Some things are similar, but when you are working with college or even younger athletes, you are developing the player, but you are also developing the person. You\u2019re helping them with their life skills, and you need to be a mentor. That\u2019s the main difference.<\/p>\n<h3>Does a great coach have to be a good cop as well as a bad cop? To know how to soothe players as well?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, I think it all starts with relationships. You really have to get to know your players. Players don\u2019t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Taking time and investing in people helps down the road when adversity strikes.<\/p>\n<h3>Are you a boss, a friend or confidante, or all of the above to your players?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019d like to say that I\u2019m a leader. You have to develop relationships with your players, but you also have to set a standard and an expectation that you are going to hold them accountable to. Once a player can trust you and you earn their respect, they\u2019re more accountable to you.<\/p>\n<h3>What are qualities all great coaches have in common, whether it\u2019s football, soccer, field hockey, or any sport?<\/h3>\n<p>We talk about how \u201ccalm breeds calm,\u201d and I think that\u2019s important in today\u2019s age\u2014being able to stay levelheaded when things aren\u2019t going well and then being able to help players and your fellow coaches deal with adversity. With all the social media and new technology out there, it\u2019s a different world from when I grew up. You need to be able to embrace that and help them deal with adversity. That takes a lot of time and dedication.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to know what you\u2019re talking about, and the players have to believe that you know. You have to find a way to communicate with players so they can understand. You have to be authentic. You can adapt and learn things from coaches that you\u2019ve worked with in the past, but the minute you try to be someone else, people can see right through that.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644333218285{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><strong>Interview by Jim Mandelaro, October 2021<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This article originally appeared in the fall 2021 issue of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/pr\/Review\/\">Rochester Review<\/a><\/em> magazine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After leading the Buffalo Bills to a record-setting season in 2020, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll \u201997 has emerged as a top candidate to become a future head coach in the National Football League.  \u201cDaboll continues to cement his status as an offensive mastermind capable of creating mismatches anywhere on the field,\u201d wrote Conor Orr in Sports Illustrated in September. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":40202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,142],"tags":[272,322,132],"class_list":["post-39922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-profiles","category-stories","tag-alumni","tag-athletics","tag-rochester-review"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Makes a Great Coach?
