I remember he was a very good coach for the Patriots as well.
Still can’t believe they beat the Dolphins in the 1985 AFC Championship Game.
That was their first victory at the Orange Bowl since 1966.
He was a HOF player... His coaching was a sore point with many Patriots fans, especially his propensity for changing QB’s... He had an aging 5th round draft pick in QB Steve Grogan, a first round QB Toney Eason (who they picked ahead of Dan Marino) and a USFL player and 6th round pick in QB Doug Flutie.
Sadly... He played all three of them in one game.
They called them the Wimp Eason, the Gimp Grogan and the Shrimp Flutie.
None of them were hurt... He just changed them up like he was putting in new pitchers in a baseball game. He should’ve stuck with Eason who had lots of potential. Berry crushed his potential by constantly replacing him with Grogan every time he wasn’t playing well. Eason lost all of his confidence.
Berry didn’t like the way his receivers were running a pattern, decided to show them how. Came back and said the hash marks were in the wrong place.
Reminds me of Bill Bradley noticing that a basket was at the wrong height. My best was noticing a Scrabble set only had one W.
