Some smoke there may be another change or two on the horizion. Still wouldn't be shocked if azzani is gone.
Yes. I've talked to guys that played with Al. All of them said you didn't answer to the staff, you answered to Al if you messed up, be it on or off the field.
In one of those interviews during the signing day coverage yesterday, Al was talking about the 98 season. He said the coaches didn't have to do anything because the players held each other accountable and kept each other in check. I chuckled because you knew who the warden of that team was that year.
What's Al doing now? I wish he could come on board in some fashion. Not sure that being intense to the point of terrifying everyone around you guarantees being a good coach, but maybe he could be team motivator or something? Put him in the VFL department.
".....I suppose he's down at the river, walking on water." I agree on bringing him in, somehow. I don't care if they pay him 7 figures just to stand around and scare people shitless. He could be like Terry Tate, office linebacker.
Shoot, don't waste him on just the AD. Take him over to administration. "You know you gotta keep that finger out of your nose, boy! WOOOO!"
Just have him stand and scowl at Botch the entire game. Botch will at that point be afraid to make any mistake that may make Al Wilson eat his soul thus turning him into an adequate coach.
