Great post OP!

 

Now we need a comparison thread for what Rex’s typical day/approach looked like as Bills coach, for contrast...;)


typical day in a few simple steps

 

1) last one in
2) think about funny things to do or say for press conference 

3) watch 30 second highlight reel of next opponent

4) go find some cameras and talk till they leave

5) first one out
