But why "the media" is not a correct answer to each question, because this is not what they do. And it is unlikely that they will. It could be a valid argument, Re: Why Rachel Maddow does not refer specifically to the question this way when Bill O'Reilly would ask otherwise instructed.

My high school coach (at South Vigo), Bob Clements, was the guy who let me call plays as a sophomore. We went through a real tough stretch there. And I want to be a part of it.</p><p> Q: Who is the toughest defensive coordinator you’ve faced in the NFL?</p><p> A: There have been a lot of great defensive coordinators through the years. I believe I’m coaching in the finest organization in football, and I mean that sincerely. I’ve got to clarify that. We were ranked No. We won the Big Ten championship my junior year and probably had a chance to win the national championship that year, too, but lost one of our key players, Ted Kitchel. Linebackers like Ray Lewis, Zach Thomas, those guys, veteran safeties like Rodney Harrison – all of those players are so smart and so good that they make it really hard for you to move the football.</p><p> Q: How tough has it been to keep all of the players happy in terms of sharing the football?</p><p> A: I don’t know that it’s ever easy because defenses don’t make it easy. We get a lot of feedback from our defensive coaches every week. But they know it, and if it’s in the plan, there’s going to be a potential opportunity.</p><p> Q: During last week’s radio program, coach John Harbaugh said that Joe Flacco has the ability to make adjustments at the line of scrimmage. So you have a lot of these life experiences as a young kid, and you just learn to persevere.</p><p> Q: Fair or unfair, you only had one season as a head coach. I get to hear what (defensive coordinator) Greg (Mattison) is thinking, I get to hear what (assistant head coach and special teams coordinator) Jerry (Rosburg) is thinking, and I kind of give them how I see it. There are a lot of good ones, but being a coordinator in this program is one of the top jobs in the National Football League. He’s one of the great coordinators in the history of this league.</p><p> Q: Why Jim Johnson?</p><p> A: Some guys can disguise, but they can’t attack. Without getting too tactical, we have stuff built into everything we’re doing. Bob Knight and Bo Schembechler, two great men that just know how to develop young men, and I was fortunate to be a young man who played for one and worked for the other.</p><p> Q: What was it like to play two seasons of basketball at Indiana University under Bob Knight?</p><p> A: Well, I practiced more than I played. That’s hard, but it’s doable. That’s the starting point. I think you see it play out across the league. I went through the busing in North Carolina and got bused across town when they finally got rid of segregation. That really inspired me to be a play-caller. We’re just not going to let everybody know what we’re doing.</p><p> Q: When you are crafting the game plan for the week, what’s the process? Do you run it by John Harbaugh? Ultimately, do you have the final say on what to incorporate and what to leave on the cutting-room floor?</p><p> A: It evolves, and it evolves throughout the course of the week. Everybody would be very surprised if they knew all of the options and decisions that Joe is making while he’s out there. Where did that persistence and determination come from?</p><p> A: Without overanalyzing it, when my parents divorced when I was real young, you grow up and you become a little more independent pretty quickly. I enjoy both differently. We have plays in every game plan for every guy. (Houshmandzadeh), from (running back) Willis (McGahee), from (tight end) Todd (Heap). I’m well aware of all of our guys’ individual and team goals, and I try to do everything I can within what we’re trying to do as a team. 1 in the country one year. He said no to me about a half-dozen times, and finally, they had an injury, and he had me come out, and I got a chance to play three years of basketball. There are some head coaching job that are probably better than coordinator jobs, but not every head coaching job in this league is better than an offensive coordinator’s job for the Baltimore Ravens. He could disguise and attack, and those are the defenses that give you problems. I basically had to beg my way onto the team. I believe in doing everything you can to get everybody involved. I’ve watched that play out, and I think that’s my job. And then our players, this is the best group of players I’ve been around for input. People didn’t disguise defenses for a year-and-a-half against Joe. Great experience to be a part of a winning program, but the life lessons you learn – I’ve said this many times, but if any one of my sons wanted to become a college basketball player, I’d want him to play for Bob Knight.</p><p> Q: You mentioned seeking Bob Knight out six times and not being content with his answers. I grew up playing with Larry Bird all the way through high school, and the thing that I learned from Larry Bird – and you saw he and Magic Johnson, probably two of the greats of all time, do this – is, getting everybody involved. Do you aspire to become a head coach again?</p><p> A: Some day, but that some day is not today. I think (quarterback) Joe (Flacco) is on board with that. Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has guided the offense to 12th in the NFL in average yards gained. I really enjoy being an offensive coordinator. I would say going against veteran NFL defensive players (is difficult) because they know you, they study you, you very seldom can fool them, there’s not many plays that they haven’t seen. My stepfather came into my life years later, but being raised by my mom had an effect on me. The teams that can disguise their intentions and attack are the ones that are the most difficult. So we’ve got a great situation here on how we want to approach things.</p><p> Q: Who was your major influence as a coach?</p><p> A: Primarily my stepfather, Tom Harp (who was the head football coach at Cornell, Duke and Indiana State). Those guys, we ask them for their input, and we get a lot of input during the week from them and even during games. We get input from (wide receiver) Derrick (Mason), from Q (wide receiver Anquan Boldin), from (center) Matt (Birk), from (wide receiver) T.J. We’re all on the same page. Randy Wittman and I played together, and now he’s down here with the Wizards (as an assistant coach). I was a walk-on, and I went to his office and kept begging him for a chance to come out. We have a coordinators’ meeting on Tuesday night, and then we kind of collectively come together. And then things kind of evolve as the week goes on, and it can evolve all the way up to game time based on who they have active or inactive, a change in weather. So it became a little easier. Going against New England is tough. It is truly a fluid situation, but there’s great communication here. I want to be the best offensive coordinator that I can possibly be. We’re all working together. And then we blend it all together. Everybody’s involved. I’m not sure which job I enjoy more. I know what we’re doing, I know what we’re trying to do, and there’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll get the job done here. I was on good teams. I’ve told this to people before, but when my mom – I was 13 – married a football coach, it was like she married Santa Claus because of all the sports, I loved football. But now, people have gone to a disguise. Cameron reflected on life as an offensive coordinator, the process of crafting the weekly game plan, and the impact of other coaches on him.</p><p> Question: What’s the most difficult part about being the offensive coordinator?</p><p> Answer: I never looked at anything being real difficult other than going against great defensive coordinators and veteran defensive players. But if you said I could only pick one, there’s five or six that are really close, but I would have to say – I’ve gone against Buddy Ryan, I’ve gone against Rex and Rob, but I don’t think anybody would fault me with this choice – Jim Johnson (the late Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator). Freshmen didn’t go to high school back then, so that was my first year in high school and I got to do that. Defenses can take a guy away, but we’ve got enough guys to go to. Pittsburgh. Does it always work? No. Some guys can attack, but they can’t disguise. On Monday and Tuesday, we’re all kind of looking at things on our own. It’s to win the game, but I think our best chance to win the game is to get everybody involved. And in no way am I silly enough at this point to think that there’s a head coaching job that is necessarily better. All of your coaches impact you in some way, shape or form. Is that a recent development or something he’s had at his disposal for a while?</p><p> A: Actually, we probably did more of that during his rookie year because we were a no-huddle team during his rookie year. John gives us tremendous input of the opposing team’s defense because he comes from that defensive perspective, and yet he knows offense, he knows our system, he knows it inside and out. Over the course of time, we should be able to keep everybody involved, and I try to make sure that every guy is going to get an opportunity in a critical situation to help us win the game. Does it always work? No. Some coordinator jobs in this league are better than head coaching jobs. But now, people are attacking Joe differently.

Former Florida Gator quarterback and NFL wanna be Tim Tebow may have stirred up an unintended and unwelcome hornet’s nest with his proposed anti-abortion ad that is expected to be aired on CBS during the Super Bowl Feb. 7 in Miami. The anti-abortion ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam Tebow, will talk about their their faith and opposition to abortion. In the anti-abortion ad, Tim Tebow will tell how his mother was advised by doctors to get an abortion when she was pregnant with Tim because she had developed an infection that could have harmed the fetus. The anti-abortion ad has drawn the ire of abortion proponents and groups like the National Organization for Women (NOW), which has asked that the ad not be run on CBS. No word yet from CBS on whether they are likely to censor the ad, but the firestorm that has resulted from the anti-abortion ad by Tim Tebow can’t looked up on favorably by the NFL. The last thing Tim Tebow needs is a controversy that will take away from the focus on his potential as an NFL quarterback. With his draft status already shaky because of some of the mechanical failures in his passing rhythm, Tim Tebow doesn’t need any more distractions. Tim Tebow does have the right to express his opinions; he just should not do so with an anti-abortion ad on national television during the Super Bowl.
