We'd have to get the guy a hoveround on game days. Really? How would this be a great hire? 77? How much could he possibly have left? People were asking how much Zook had left, but this guy is a great deal older.

Wouldn't that not fit the description of LeBeau seeing as he's legendary as far as the word defense is concerned in football?

Nothing wrong with his name or his resume. If this is the guy that Hanny was eluding to, he should have said" look past the fact that he's 137 years old."

Not if you consider the first thing that everyone thought about regarding him - his age.

Once everyone heard the name, we immediately thought about his age. His resume speaks for itself.

It also fits people melting as well, due to his age...

he is credited with inventing the "Fire Zone" or "zone blitz" defense, which employs unpredictable pass rushes and pass coverage from various players.[8] His defenses typically employ 3–4 sets, with any of the 4 linebackers and frequently a defensive back among the pass rushers, while defensive linemen may drop back into short pass coverage zones to compensate for the pass rush coming from other positions. The design is intended to confuse the opposition's quarterback and frustrate its blocking schemes. Since zone blitzes don't identify any of the prospective rushers, the offense may be unsure on each play of which defenders will rush the passer and which will drop into coverage. While often described as a "blitzing" scheme (implying more than the typical number of four pass rushers used by most defenses), the call on any particular "zone blitz" play may involve only three or four pass rushers but from unpredictable positions and angles.[9]
