Keith Adcox many stories, great player, pound for pound the hardest hitter I coached. During one practice he cracked so hard on one of his team-mates that his headgear was knocked sideways, he was looking out of the ear hole. Coach Wheaton and I made him go stand 30 yards down field on the side line to keep him out of the action; by the way we were running no contact plays. Keith had only one gear – full speed.
During another game I called a play and sent it into the game by Keith, who proceeded to go into the game, after what seemed to me like thirty seconds the quarterback and the entire huddle looked to the sideline and then called time out. The quarterback came to the sideline to which I ask why did you call a time out and not just run the play to which he replied “Coach, all Keith said was ‘pro-right I’m going to CRACK.’”
