The glitter and confetti fall I see a man I coached hard his whole career holding up the Super Bowl MVP award. I finally see Jerome with that tear in his eye, the good one. I have accomplished so much since I have been here. I remember when we were struggling to beat the browns, now our offense is dominate and I love to feel that it is somewhat because of me.
I know its early but in my mind I know that it's time for me to move on. I've helped someone get to the superbowl and win it. I have taken the journey. Now it's time for me to get to the superbowl by myself. I feel that I'm ready.
The celebrations are over and I'm at home watching the NFL network, I see my name pop-up and become intrigued because I have given no interviews and from what i noticed I have been a behind the scenes coach. I didn't think anyone actually knew who I was. But there it is a highlight film of my career. I felt like a little kid seeing my pictures up there, they even got one of the few times I yelled at a guy.
I find myself as a passive guy because you look at it this way. If the guy in charge can't keep his cool, how do I expect everyone else to react? The most important leader on the field is the one off the field. A quote I created because i feel it's the best way to describe it. Next thing you know maybe a day or two later i recieve a call telling me to give the owner of the browns a call and I am surprised. I guess thier right its a year long job coaching is.
I didn't know what they wanted because they have a defensive guru in Romeo Crennel, but being plague with injuries and a quarterback mishapsand unlucky drafting for the past umm..well... ever. They might need someone to step in and get this Organization moving faster. I give the Browns organization a call first thing in the morning and A man picks up and is very excited ot hear from me. He introuduces himself and is very please to meet me.
He wants to get a better insight of what i really stand for and he ask for a question and answer session. I agree and the Interview starts. I'm feeling jittery, this jitter is just as bad as the one i got right before the superbowl. He clears his throat and continues with the questions.
His first question was:
To be continued...
Will Derrick choke during the biggest moment in his career as of now or will he be the offensive guru everyone thinks he will be? Find out next time on Diary of a Head Coach: Derrick Johnson.
