Much stress being a head coach. Shortens life spans for sure. Sitting around watching film all day while gaining weight doesn't help either.
Look what happen to John Gruden, fat slob now.

I was in a steakhouse in NJ the day after the Giants beat the Vikes. He was there with all the coaches having dinner. I told him congrats on the win from across the room as he was leaving. He decided to walk back to my table to talk with me and a friend for a few minutes.
Really nice guy.

Wish I’d seen his post about “the shrink”, did not know it was that bad
Hope Btj is hanging in there and didn’t do what he insinuated
