 He knew over 20 years ago. He knew Dave McGinnis was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals His star receiver was Rob Moore Moore was in the midst of a 12-year career where he caught over 600 passes and was a pro bowler and yet Dave McGinnis Knew coach Mack knew that if Rob Moore wanted to coach after his playing career ended He would be just as successful He out the break If he shows up that early, yeah, I think you got to take that fellas, we got to go man. This right here. This is This is this bad right here. This bad ball. He was one of the most highly competitive guys I've ever coached and I've been around a lot of highly competitive guys in my 31 years of coaching But he did it with such grace, you know how some guys are able to compete with intensity But they got a real kind of aura to him about just being smooth and and graceful with what they do That was Rob Moore. No doubt in my mind. He was going to be an excellent coach if that's what he chose to do This was a guy that coaches could implicitly trust and this was a guy more importantly that the locker room trusted Rob Moore started as a high school coach Then became a junior college coach and then moved on to college coaching before advancing to the NFL He paid his dues and he stayed in the national football league Because he can connect with the receiver who's headed to the Hall of Fame a wide out Who's desperately trying to make a roster and every wide receiver in the team You just go down in the middle of them if you don't want to be outside to be somewhere on when it's praying Got what I'm saying? He commands instant respect and you can just tell just with what's going on with this receiver group He's got some very different guys as far as even their talent levels from top to bottom and especially what he's gone through this year You know having to to reintroduce and to teach new people and bring them in but he's always able to connect with those guys And I think that's really really important That's what you look for as a head coach is someone that can connect with their players and still at the same time Be able to make the distinction between player and coach He's a very insightful human being he gets it He is one of those guys that was supremely blessed athletically, but he doesn't expect everybody to be that supremely blessed Athletically, but what he does expect and can tell them is how to hone their craft and how to increase their value by work If you watch a Titans practice You see all of the wide receivers gathered around Rob Moore during periods where they're off The conversations focus on all aspects of the job and every receiver gets something out of these sessions But Rob Moore he gets a lot back There's implicit trust between player and coach and they know that what he is telling them on a daily basis is going to help them He in turn wants feedback from them That's why you see those constant conversations Anytime you see coaches that are in constant conversation with their players It's because there's feedback going back and forth and it can't only be you listen I talk as a coach it has to be Let me hear what you have to say and then let me help you and then if we both agree then we'll go on this path If not, let's find out why we don't agree and we'll work something out But trust is the word that's what that's what you know when you're seeing that on a practice field What you're looking at is implicit trust between player and coach just like I had Ron Rivera Just like I had Mike Singletary. You knew that if they eventually were going to hang up the pads That if they wanted to get into coaching they could add a lot to it. I knew that watching Rob Moore Immediately when I was with you got a run you got a closer Then you go so you got caught in between like You know saying do it with speed
