Steve Spagnuolo, an assistant head coach in the American NFL for 27 years, was, until recently, one of the hottest prospects for a head coaching job in the NFL. In January he became the head coach of the St. Louis Rams.Two of his close friends tell why Spagnuolo was such a hot prospect.
First friend: “Steve is a brilliant, brilliant man. He very easily could be at Mass General doing brain surgery instead of coaching football.” Wow! A brain surgeon on the sidelines!
Second friend: “He was one of those kids who had a special knack for making everybody feel like they were important.”
Making everybody feel important! What a knack!
