Don Beebe-New HC at Aurora College


Recommended Posts

I guess this would be West Aurora.  Maybe someday he'll make it back to East Aurora.

BTW Aurora University is in Aurora Illinois, 40 miles from Chicago.  I had the impression it was in Nebraska, but the NE reference was due to the fact Beebe went to school there.

Don and his family are from the area (west of Chicago) and after football he went back to same area.  A real family guy.  He's as humble and grounded a guy as you'll find and a terrific coach.  Have seen him coach a lot of young men first hand.  Top notch and same goes for his training staff.

I should be coaching somewhere.

 

I know lots of stuff about football and make great points about what plays teams should calling be before they snap the ball.

 

I am a channel clicker, though.

 

Normally I'd say you have zero chance of that, but Rex Ryan sold himself to the Pagula's so yeah there's hope for you.  Give it a shot.

McBeane and the Pegulas need your phone number on speed dial so they can get in touch with you as soon as they fire McClappy.

He was on with Murph and Tasker a few weeks ago. Tasker was saying how not a week goes by without someone mentioning how great it was that he didn't give up on the Leon Lett play in super bowx XVII. Beebe said he didn't mind Tasker getting credit for the play as Beebe often gets credit for his 7 pro bowls and being MVP in one of them.

I live near Aurora College. Almost every time I hear Beebe's name mentioned around here, somebody says "the guy from the Bills with that huge helmet like the Great Gazoo?".

Well, I bet Don wishes he did wear Kelso's helmet on this play

I heard an interview with Beebe recently on a wide ranging number of topics.  Really smart and well-spoken guy.  He still recalls how when he won a Super Bowl with GB, all he could think about was how he wished his Bills teammates could share in the victory.

Beebe was a very underrated receiver.  He was like the offenses version of the defenses Phil Hansen. 

 

I still remember his 4 TD receiving day against Pittsburgh and of course it was his 40 yard TD catch that started the Bills on their epic comeback against Houston.

 

 

And as Bills fans, we all ignore that he stepped out of bounds on that play. Didn't really matter though. If the refs called it, they probably wouldn't have left enough time on the board for Houston to eventually tie it up in regulation. 

That was one for the ages.

Kelso's helmet did look weird. Probably saved him from a concussion or two though.

 

 

CONGRATS to Mr. Beebe! And, what a great name for a speedster!

Rex is more qualified than him.  He should try pee wee football.

They your phone number on speed dial when stadium sewers back up. Good news is you will not need a change of clothes since the job will improve your smell.
