It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Ok, the Pats must have the single least athletic coaching staff in the NFL. Alumni of powerhouses like Brown, Wesleyan, Bowling Green, John Carroll, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Southwestern Louisiana, California Western, William & Mary...even RPI!! Only Pepper actually played in the NFL.
(FWIW, Mr. Patchick went to Brown with O'Brien while I was at Wesleyan with Mangini. Little did we know that we could have aspired to NFL careers....)

He attended Brown University in Providence, R.I., where he was a linebacker and defensive end from 1990-92. O'Brien began his coaching career at Brown, coaching tight ends in 1993 and tutoring inside linebackers in 1994.

I think that the phrase you were looking for was "best educated".
And remember, all of you High School Football heroes:
You don't have to have been a horse to be a jockey!
Great atheletes dont make great coaches. Its the guys who sit on the bench and see how things are done that become the great coaches.
Sure, but the interesting thing is that these guys were "sitting on the benches" at places like Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
I think it's fascinating. Across pro sports the coaching ranks are increasingly becoming the realm of ex-players who supposedly can relate better to the players because they've been there. The Pats are a marked exception, still treating coaching as a skill and profession unto itself.
