  Not

  But

  Coach

  Rockne
• 2:05
  and
• 2:06
  Mr.
• 2:06
  Clipper
• 2:07
  Smith
• 2:07
  had
• 2:07
  a
• 2:08
  relationship
• 2:09
  that
• 2:09
  went
• 2:09
  beyond
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  football
• 2:10
  field.
• 2:11
  Even
• 2:11
  after
• 2:11
  graduation.
• 2:12
  And
• 2:12
  this
• 2:13
  next
• 2:13
  story
• 2:13
  tells

  us
• 2:14
  about

  the
• 2:15
  postgraduate
• 2:16
  years
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  Clippers
• 2:17
  Smith.
• 2:17
  He
• 2:17
  remained
• 2:18
  fiercely
• 2:18
  loyal
• 2:19
  to
• 2:19
  new
• 2:19
  Rockne.
• 2:20
  The
• 2:20
  one
• 2:20
  particular
• 2:21
  incident
• 2:21
  in
• 2:21
  Spokane,
• 2:22
  Washington
• 2:23
  perfectly
• 2:23
  captures

  savvy
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26

• 2:27
  n
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  his
• 2:28
  old
• 2:29
  coach.
• 2:29
  By
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  early
• 2:30
  1930s,
• 2:31
  Clipper
• 2:32
  was
• 2:32
  making
• 2:32
  his
• 2:32
  own
• 2:33
  way
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  coaching
• 2:34
  world.
• 2:34
  While
• 2:34
  Rockne
• 2:35
  had
• 2:35
  expanded
• 2:35
  his
• 2:35
  empire
• 2:36
  beyond
• 2:36
  South
• 2:37
  Bend.
• 2:37
  Rockne
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  retained
• 2:39
  as
• 2:39
  an
• 2:39
  assistant
• 2:40
  sales
• 2:40
  manager
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  motivational
• 2:42
  speaker
• 2:42
  for
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  Studebaker
• 2:43
  Corporation,
• 2:44
  earning
• 2:44
  a
• 2:45
  handsome
• 2:45
  sum
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  advocate
• 2:47
  for
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  South
• 2:47
  Bend
• 2:48
  based
• 2:48
  automaker.
• 2:49
  Now
• 2:49
  Rockne
• 2:50
  was
• 2:50
  scheduled
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  arrive
• 2:50
  by
• 2:51
  train
• 2:51
  in
• 2:51
  Spokane
• 2:52
  for
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  highly
• 2:53
  publicized
• 2:53
  speaking
• 2:54
  engagement
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  now
• 2:55
  eager
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  treat
• 2:55
  his
• 2:56
  former
• 2:56
  captain
• 2:56
  and
• 2:57
  mentor
• 2:57
  with
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  utmost
• 2:58
  luxury,
• 2:59
  Clipper
• 2:59
  went
• 2:59
  out
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  his
• 3:00
  way
• 3:00
  to
• 3:01
  arrange
• 3:01
  an
• 3:01
  impressive
• 3:02
  ride.
• 3:02
  He
• 3:03
  visited
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  local
• 3:03
  luxury
• 3:04
  dealership
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  borrowed
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  brand
• 3:05
  new
• 3:06
  top
• 3:06
  of
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  line
• 3:07
  Cadillac
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  pick
• 3:08
  up
• 3:08
  Rockne
• 3:09
  from
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  station.
• 3:10
  When
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  train
• 3:11
  pulled
• 3:11
  in,
• 3:11
  Rockne
• 3:12
  stepped
• 3:12
  up
• 3:12
  on
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  platform
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  was
• 3:13
  greeted
• 3:14
  by
• 3:14
  a
• 3:14
  beaming
• 3:15
  Clipper
• 3:15
  Smith
• 3:15
  and
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  local
• 3:16
  newspaper
• 3:17
  photographer
• 3:17
  who
• 3:17
  was
• 3:18
  snapping
• 3:18
  pictures
• 3:19
  of
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  grand
• 3:19
  arrival
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  Coach
• 3:21
  Rockne.
• 3:21
  Now,
• 3:21
  rather
• 3:22
  than
• 3:22
  jumping
• 3:22
  into
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  luxurious
• 3:23
  vehicle,
• 3:23
  Rockne
• 3:24
  froze.
• 3:25
  He
• 3:25
  looked
• 3:25
  at
• 3:25
  the
• 3:26
  gleaming
• 3:26
  Cadillac,
• 3:27
  then
• 3:27
  at
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  photographer
• 3:28
  and
• 3:28
  his
• 3:28
  face
• 3:29
  dropped.
• 3:29
  As
• 3:30
  a
• 3:30
  photographer
• 3:30
  angled
• 3:31
  for
• 3:31
  shops
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  legendary
• 3:32
  coach
• 3:32
  next
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  automobile,
• 3:34
  Rockne
• 3:34
  began
• 3:35
  performing
• 3:35
  a
• 3:35
  series
• 3:35
  of
• 3:36
  bizarre,
• 3:36
  highly
• 3:37
  synchronized
• 3:37
  maneuvers.
• 3:38
  He
• 3:39
  shifted
• 3:39
  his
• 3:39
  stance,
• 3:40
  leaned
• 3:40
  across
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  hood,
• 3:41
  shuffled
• 3:41
  side
• 3:41
  to
• 3:42
  side
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  blocked
• 3:42
  sections
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  vehicle
• 3:43
  with
• 3:43
  his
• 3:44
  body
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  luggage.
• 3:45
  To
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  untrained
• 3:46
  eye,
• 3:46
  it
• 3:46
  looked
• 3:46
  as
• 3:46
  though
• 3:46
  Rockne
• 3:47
  was
• 3:47
  simply
• 3:47
  posing
• 3:48
  with
• 3:48
  theatrical
• 3:49
  flair.
• 3:50
  In
• 3:50
  reality,
• 3:51
  he
• 3:51
  was
• 3:51
  meticulously
• 3:52
  using
• 3:52
  his
• 3:53
  physical
• 3:53
  frame
• 3:53
  to
• 3:54
  obscure
• 3:54
  every
• 3:55
  single
• 3:55
  Cadillac
• 3:56
  emblem
• 3:56
  and
• 3:56
  logo
• 3:57
  from
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  camera's
• 3:58
  lenses.
• 3:58
  Once
• 3:59
  they
• 3:59
  finally
• 3:59
  escaped
• 4:00
  into
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  interior
• 4:00
  of
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  car,
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  bewildered
• 4:02
  Clipper
• 4:02
  looked
• 4:03
  over
• 4:03
  at
• 4:03
  his
• 4:03
  old
• 4:03
  coach
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  asked
• 4:04
  what
• 4:04
  in
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  world
• 4:05
  he
• 4:05
  was
• 4:05
  doing.
• 4:06
  Rockne
• 4:07
  adjusted
• 4:07
  his
• 4:07
  fedora,
• 4:08
  looked
• 4:08
  at
• 4:08
  Smith,
• 4:09
  embarked.
• 4:09
  Quote,
• 4:10
  I'm
• 4:10
  out
• 4:11
  here
• 4:11
  representing
• 4:11
  Studebaker.
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  can't
• 4:13
  be
• 4:13
  seen
• 4:13
  riding
• 4:13
  around
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  Cadillac.
• 4:15
  Now.
• 4:15
  Rockne
• 4:16
  then
• 4:16
  ordered
• 4:16
  Clipper
• 4:16
  to
• 4:17
  take
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  most
• 4:17
  discreet
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  winding
• 4:19
  back
• 4:19
  alleys
• 4:20
  as
• 4:20
  possible
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  get
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  hotel,
• 4:21
  ducking
• 4:22
  low
• 4:22
  in
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  passenger
• 4:23
  seat
• 4:23
  with
• 4:23
  his
• 4:23
  hat
• 4:24
  pulled
• 4:24
  over
• 4:24
  his
• 4:24
  eyes
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  ensure
• 4:25
  no
• 4:25
  one
• 4:26
  saw
• 4:26
  Notre
• 4:26
  Dame's
• 4:27
  greatest
• 4:27
  ambassador
• 4:28
  riding
• 4:29
  in
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  rival
• 4:30
  luxury
• 4:30
  car.
• 4:30
  Now,
• 4:31
  it
• 4:31
  was
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  classic
• 4:32
  testament
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  Rockne's
• 4:33
  strict
• 4:33
  discipline,
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  trait
• 4:34
  that
• 4:34
  Clipper
• 4:35
  Smith
• 4:35
  had
• 4:35
  mastered
• 4:36
  perfectly
• 4:36
  in
• 4:36
  a
• 4:36
  field,
• 4:37
  even
• 4:37
  if
• 4:37
  it
• 4:38
  didn't
• 4:38
  quite
• 4:38
  grasp
• 4:39
  his
• 4:39
  coach's
• 4:40
  automotive
• 4:40
  corporate
• 4:41
  loyalty
• 4:42
  off
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  it.
• 4:43
  And
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  sponsorship
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  came
• 4:44
  right
• 4:44
  after.
• 4:45
  You
• 4:45
  know,
• 4:45
  just
• 4:46
  a
• 4:46
  brilliant
• 4:47
  move
• 4:47
  by
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  coach,
• 4:48
  you
• 4:49
  know,

  Rock

  D.
• 4:49
  When
• 4:50
  he's
• 4:50
  trying
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  be
• 4:51
  paid
• 4:52
  by

  those

• 4:59
  But
• 4:59
  we

  have
• 4:59
  some
• 5:00
  game
• 5:00
  time
• 5:00
  situation
• 5:02
  by
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  genius
• 5:03
  Bill
• 5:03
  Belichick
• 5:04
  that
• 5:05
  he
• 5:05
  did
• 5:05
  during
• 5:05
  a
• 5:06
  playoff
• 5:06
  game.
• 5:07
  A
• 5:07
  maneuver
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  was
• 5:08
  so
• 5:08
  unprecedented
• 5:09
  it
• 5:09
  changed
• 5:09
  the
• 5:10
  rule
• 5:10
  book.
• 5:10
  Here's
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  story
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  we
• 5:11
  have
• 5:12
  on
• 5:12
  coach.
• 5:16
  January
• 5:16
  10,
• 5:17
  2015,
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  AFC
• 5:19
  Divisional
• 5:19
  Playoff.
• 5:20
  The
• 5:20
  New
• 5:20
  England
• 5:20
  Patriots
• 5:21
  are
• 5:21
  down
• 5:21
  by
• 5:22
  14
• 5:22
  in
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  third
• 5:22
  quarter
• 5:23
  against
• 5:23
  a
• 5:24
  bitter
• 5:24
  rival,
• 5:24
  the
• 5:25
  Baltimore
• 5:25
  Ravens.
• 5:25
  Legendary
• 5:26
  coach
• 5:26
  Bill
• 5:27
  Belichick
• 5:27
  needs
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  spark.
• 5:28
  And
• 5:28
  to
• 5:29
  get
• 5:29
  it,
• 5:29
  he's
• 5:29
  about
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  unleash
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  tactical
• 5:31
  loophole
• 5:32
  that
• 5:32
  would
• 5:32
  literally
• 5:33
  force
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  NFL
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  rewrite
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  rule
• 5:35
  book.
• 5:36
  Football
• 5:36
  101
• 5:37
  says
• 5:37
  an
• 5:37
  offense
• 5:38
  must
• 5:38
  have
• 5:39
  five
• 5:39
  ineligible
• 5:40
  players
• 5:40
  on
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  line
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  scrimmage.
• 5:42
  Usually
• 5:42
  your
• 5:42
  five
• 5:43
  hefty
• 5:43
  offense
• 5:43
  alignment.
• 5:44
  But
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  rule
• 5:45
  book
• 5:45
  didn't
• 5:45
  say
• 5:45
  those
• 5:46
  five
• 5:46
  players
• 5:47
  had
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  linemen.
• 5:48
  Belichick
• 5:49
  exploited
• 5:49
  this.
• 5:50
  He
• 5:50
  trotted
• 5:50
  out
• 5:50
  an
• 5:51
  unconventional
• 5:51
  formation
• 5:52
  with
• 5:52
  only
• 5:53
  four
• 5:53
  traditional
• 5:53
  offensive
• 5:54
  linemen.
• 5:55
  He
• 5:55
  sent
• 5:55
  out
• 5:56
  running
• 5:56
  back
• 5:56
  Shane
• 5:57
  vereen
• 5:57
  wearing
• 5:57
  number
• 5:58
  34,
• 5:58
  an
• 5:59
  eligible
• 5:59
  receiver's
• 6:00
  number,
• 6:00
  and
• 6:01
  had
• 6:01
  him
• 6:01
  report
• 6:01
  to
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  referee
• 6:02
  and
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  he
• 6:03
  was
• 6:03
  ineligible.
• 6:05
  Vreen
• 6:05
  lined
• 6:06
  up
• 6:06
  wide
• 6:06
  like
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  receiver,
• 6:07
  and
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  referee
• 6:08
  announced
• 6:09
  it
• 6:09
  over
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  stadium
• 6:10
  pa.
• 6:10
  Quote,
• 6:11
  do
• 6:11
  not
• 6:12
  cover
• 6:12
  number
• 6:13
  34,
• 6:14
  end
• 6:14
  quote.
• 6:14
  But
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  Ravens
• 6:15
  defense
• 6:15
  panicked.
• 6:16
  They
• 6:16
  saw
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  fast
• 6:17
  running
• 6:17
  back
• 6:18
  out
• 6:18
  wide
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  assigned
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  linebacker
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  cover
• 6:20
  him
• 6:21
  anyway.
• 6:21
  Meanwhile,
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  actual
• 6:23
  left
• 6:23
  tackle
• 6:24
  position
• 6:24
  is
• 6:24
  occupied
• 6:25
  by
• 6:25
  tight
• 6:26
  end
• 6:26
  Michael
• 6:27
  Humazwani.
• 6:28
  Because
• 6:29
  Vereen
• 6:29
  took
• 6:29
  the
• 6:30
  ineligible
• 6:30
  tag,
• 6:31
  Humawani
• 6:31
  is
• 6:32
  illegal
• 6:32
  and
• 6:33
  eligible.
• 6:33
  The
• 6:34
  ball
• 6:34
  is
• 6:34
  snapped,
• 6:34
  the
• 6:35
  fake
• 6:35
  tackle
• 6:35
  streaks
• 6:36
  right
• 6:36
  up
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  seam,
• 6:37
  completely
• 6:37
  uncovered.
• 6:38
  And
• 6:38
  Tom
• 6:39
  Brady
• 6:39
  hits
• 6:40
  him
• 6:40
  for
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  massive
• 6:41
  16
• 6:42
  yard
• 6:42
  gain.
• 6:44
  Now
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  Patriots
• 6:45
  ran
• 6:45
  variations
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  this
• 6:46
  deception
• 6:47
  three
• 6:47
  times
• 6:47
  on
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  drive,
• 6:48
  marching
• 6:48
  downfield
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  score.
• 6:50
  Baltimore
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  completely
• 6:51
  baffled.
• 6:52
  Ravens
• 6:52
  coach
• 6:53
  John
• 6:53
  Harbaugh
• 6:54
  blasted
• 6:54
  the
• 6:55
  tactics
• 6:55
  after
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  game,
• 6:56
  calling
• 6:56
  them
• 6:56
  illegal
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  substituting
• 6:58
  maneuvers.
• 6:58
  The
• 6:59
  defense
• 6:59
  wasn't
• 6:59
  given
• 7:00
  time
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  match,
• 7:00
  but
• 7:01
  Belichick
• 7:02
  simply
• 7:02
  mastered
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  fine
• 7:03
  print.
• 7:04
  Now,
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  Patriots
• 7:05
  won
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  game
• 7:06
  35
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  31,
• 7:08
  on
• 7:08
  their
• 7:08
  way
• 7:08
  to
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  Super
• 7:09
  bowl
• 7:09
  title.
• 7:10
  But
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  NFL
• 7:10
  competition
• 7:11
  committee
• 7:12
  moved
• 7:12
  fast
• 7:12
  that
• 7:13
  offseason
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  restore
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  competitive
• 7:15
  fairness.
• 7:15
  Owners
• 7:16
  passed
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  brand
• 7:16
  new
• 7:17
  rule
• 7:17
  for
• 7:17
  2015.
• 7:18
  Any
• 7:19
  player
• 7:19
  wearing
• 7:20
  an
• 7:20
  eligible
• 7:20
  number
• 7:21
  who
• 7:21
  reports
• 7:21
  as
• 7:21
  an
• 7:22
  ineligible
• 7:23
  must
• 7:23
  line
• 7:23
  up
• 7:23
  in
• 7:24
  inside
• 7:24
  the
• 7:25
  offensive
• 7:25
  tackle
• 7:26
  box.
• 7:26
  They
• 7:26
  line
• 7:27
  up
• 7:27
  wide.
• 7:27
  It's
• 7:28
  an
• 7:28
  immediate
• 7:28
  five
• 7:28
  yard
• 7:29
  penalty.
• 7:29
  It
• 7:30
  was
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  master
• 7:30
  class
• 7:31
  in
• 7:31
  gridiron
• 7:31
  ingenuity.
• 7:32
  A
• 7:32
  formation
• 7:33
  so
• 7:33
  brilliant
• 7:34
  it
• 7:34
  was
• 7:34
  only
• 7:35
  legal
• 7:35
  for
• 7:36
  one
• 7:36
  historic
• 7:37
  night.
• 7:38
  Now
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  is
• 7:38
  just
• 7:39
  some
• 7:39
  clever
• 7:39
  thinking
• 7:40
  by
• 7:40
  coach
• 7:40
  Belichick.
• 7:41
  Just
• 7:41
  like
• 7:41
  it
• 7:42
  was
• 7:42
  very,
• 7:42
  you
• 7:43
  know,
• 7:43
  prompt
• 7:44
  and
• 7:45
  very
• 7:45
  appropriate
• 7:46
  what
• 7:46
  coach
• 7:47
  Rockne
• 7:47
  did
• 7:47
  on
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  spot.
• 7:48
  These
• 7:48
  are
• 7:49
  fast
• 7:49
  thinking
• 7:49
  guys
• 7:50
  that,
• 7:50
  that
• 7:50
  are
• 7:50
  always
• 7:51
  looking
• 7:51
  for
• 7:51
  that
• 7:51
  edge
• 7:52
  and
• 7:52
  looking
• 7:52
  to
• 7:53
  make
• 7:53
  themselves
• 7:53
  and
• 7:54
  their
• 7:54
  teams
• 7:55
  come
• 7:55
  out
• 7:55
  as
• 7:55
  winners
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  they
• 7:56
  definitely
• 7:57
  both
• 7:57
  have
• 7:57
  with
• 7:57
  the
• 7:58
  championships,
• 7:59
  Belichick
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  pros
• 8:00
  and
• 8:01
  coach
• 8:01
  Rockne,
• 8:01
  what
• 8:01
  he
• 8:02
  did
• 8:02
  at
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  collegiate
• 8:03
  level
• 8:03
  back
• 8:03
  in
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  1920s.
• 8:05
  So

  we

  love

  call

  that

  I

  don't

  anybody

  else
