Follow Up on Paul Brown

I found this quote from Bill Belichick while reading Ron Jaworski's book on the NFL.  It goes to your previous posts about the greatest NFL coach of all time and reinforces why you all said Paul Brown.

Belichick was able to attend Brown's training camps as a youth and said "the way Paul conducted those training sessions was so much more professional and meticulous than any other camps I visited.  Essentially, everything that Paul Brown did with those teams is what we do today.  Every film breakdown, meeting, walk-through, and practice is based on Brown's system.  Every teaching progression, how plays complement each other - it all goes back to Brown.  95 percent, if not more, of everything we do now comes from him.  He is the father of professional football.  What he did as a coach fifty years ago, everybody in the NFL is still basically doing the same thing"

Enough said.
