(Carl) Banks remembers a game against Washington when, based on feedback from him and fellow linebacker Lawrence Taylor, the coach drew up an entirely new defensive scheme in a matter of minutes.
Banks said he never played for a coach so ready to listen to his players, so flexible when it came to tearing up one plan and implementing another.
"I've been around some coaches who are so arrogant it's, 'Just run my defense and shut up,' " Banks said. "Some guys are so interested in being a genius, they spend all their time trying to put a square inside of a circle.
"That's the thing about Bill. He forms a partnership with his players. He listens."
