Coach Dungy approaches everyting more of as a friend type of thing where he wants you to play well because he wants to see you succeed. Coach Belichick is a little bit more of a figurehead, maybe that's the wrong terminology, but more of a scary figure.

Vinatieri was asked how Colts coach Tony Dungy and Patriots coach Bill Belichick are similar and different.
"The way they are similar is that they are both very, very intelligent and very good coaches as far as Xs and Os," he said. "I guess, pretty much everything beyond that, is different. It's hard to even compare. They are two completely different styles but both very successful. Coach Dungy approaches everyting more of as a friend type of thing where he wants you to play well because he wants to see you succeed. Coach Belichick is a little bit more of a figurehead, maybe that's the wrong terminology, but more of a scary figure."
Vinatieri was also asked about the styles of the first two coaches he played for in the NFL, Bill Parcells and Pete Carroll.
"We're getting into my whole career here," he said. "I think everybody knows how Coach Parcells coaches. He's that strong, tough-nosed guy and very successful obviously. And then Pete Carroll won national championships at USC. They are four completely different coaches, so it just goes to show that you have the right team, and the right players and the right leadership on the team, you can lead in your own way and still be successful. A lot of guys have rings, so I guess you can't complain one way or the other. Hopefully [Dungy] will get one, too."

What does Adam mean by scary figure? This is football, not nursery school - BB wins, so if he needs to be scary, so be it!
I realize kickers are just kickers but I was interested when Vrabel was asked about what he said to Vinatieri when the Patriots-Colts played in the regular season and he said something to the effect of "not much, we don't really have much in common to talk about, we didn't talk much when he was here".
No link, it was on NEST. Again, I know a kicker is FAR AWAY from a LB. But it definitely piqued my interest as they won 3 SB together.
I saw this,too. Freakin Benedictieri,feeding right into the BullyChick frenzy. "Scary" lol. Isn't that sort of Dolt-ish? Oh wait...

I remember that interview and it made me wonder as well. AV really wasn't feeling the love,apparently? It's very much in keeping with AV's statement re: who he stays in touch with,namely Josh and Paxton. I'm getting the sense he really hated it here more than we ever realized and more than he ever let on.
Was it Vrabel who yelled to him "Would you sign my Superbowl shirt?" before the Pats/Colts game at Gillette?

I stopped taking AV seriously when he wore leather pants on "The Late Show". I"m sorry, I don't care who you are, NO MAN can be taken seriously when they wear leather pants.
BB a "scary figure" ?
