Commitment to Excellence - part 1
Here`s what I think happened. One day, out of the blue, Art Shell`s phone rings.
"Honey", his wife calls out, "It`s for you."
"Hello" says Art.
"Art baby, It`s Al Davis, I need you back baby."
"But Mr Davis, it`s been years, and besides, you kind of screwed me last time."
"Art baby, let`s not live in the past. I`ll admit I made a huge mistake with Shanahan and Gruden...I thought those guys could coach. When they didn`t want to listen to my suggestions, I knew they weren`t my kinda guys. But you, Art...you were always a company guy. You get me baby. And please...call me Al."
As Art Shell thinks about the offer, Al Davis stares into his lava lamp, and pops an 8 track tape into the deck.
"OK Al, I`ll do it."
"Solid" replies the wrinkled owner, "but from now on, call me Mr Davis."
That night, as Art Shell lay in bed, he wondered to himself..."I need to assemble a coaching staff, but I`ve been gone so long, I don`t know where to start."
Shell decided to get away for the weekend and think things over.
"Honey" Shell said to his wife, "remember that cute little Bed and Breakfast we stayed at"....
