The winner today is New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. From Boston.Com:
"“It’s just preparing his players to go out and compete, that’s what he does really well,” said Amherst College football coach E.J. Mills. “You see the Patriots do that week in and week out.”
It was Mills who gave Patricia his start in coaching, hiring him in a low-level position coaching the defensive line in 1999. Don Faulstick, Mills’ offensive coordinator at the time, had recommended Patricia from coaching him in college. Patricia played on the offensive line and majored in aeronautical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 1992 to 1996.
“Matty was legitimately a rocket scientist,” Mills said. “He was an engineer, working at a firm, and he really wanted to get into coaching.”"
