Up Close & Personal with Reggie White

Q. How do you deal with verbal abuse from coaches?

A. Hollering is almost universal among football coaches, but if a coach curses, that shuts me down immediately, and I'm not shy about telling him. When I went to Tennessee, Johnny Majors was coach and Larry Marmie my defensive coordinator. I went to Coach Majors and said, "If you want to holler at me and make me run all day, I'll do it. The only thing I ask is that you don't curse." Coach Marmie heard about it and promised the whole defense: "I'll scream at you, but I'll never curse or humiliate you."

Our attitude was, "Yeah, right. Let's see."

But he kept his promise.

— Reggie White, former tackle for the Green Bay Packers, is widely known as "the minister of defense."
