    Two of the lines that I always love hearing about Prime is the look good play good and the curl looked wet but it was dry. That man is iconic and did Coaching right he went to a smaller team build them up and showed who he is as a player and that's good.

    I forgot how stylish Coach Prime is. He really was so focused on the kids doing well, that I never saw him being a fashion icon only his abilities to coach. He was one of the most stylish men in the NFL. He’s right about dressing the part and keeping your body in shape these are disciplines for life especially people of color. We are always judged by our appearance. A suit says business and sweats are ok for the field and casual wear, but always dress for the occasion and important events.
