My Take
Brad Childress is the sort of football lifer I quietly admire. Over four decades he built offenses at Wisconsin and Philadelphia before getting his shot as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. The head-coaching chapter is what most people remember, but I am more drawn to the coordinator years, the patient, unglamorous craft of shaping how a team attacks. A career that long is its own argument; you do not survive in that profession on luck. To me he represents the architects who rarely get the credit, the men whose fingerprints are all over a roster's identity while the cameras look elsewhere.
