Is it harder these days, Chan Gailey is asked, to get players to follow all the rules, to accept the consequences for their actions, to get them to resist taking the easy way out?
"How much time you got?" Gailey responds, leaning forward as if the question has touched a nerve. "That is a story in itself. Our society doesn't look at things that way anymore. So it's hard for young people to look at that anymore. When the president of our country does things that are not morally right and nothing happens, how in the world are they supposed to understand right from wrong? Now that gray line between those two has become larger and larger every year that I've been alive. Yes, it's become harder."
The new coach of the Buffalo Bills is a man who definitely knows right from wrong.
Way back in 1983 when he got his first head coaching job -- at Troy State in Alabama -- he developed a motto: Do everything the right way. It is a mantra that he has repeated, in one form or another, throughout his career.
