Hubie Brown tells a story about how while coaching the Kentucky Colonels to a championship one of the plays he ran late in the deciding game he got from a the guy who coached his kid's freshman team. It all seemed a bit of a myth, but when Hubie went back to Memphis to coach there was a TV spot where Hubie gave the guy tickets and the guy recounted Hubie approaching him after a game and asking him about the play. As I recall Hubie telling us it involved using one of the positions in a way he had never thought of, thus being unexpected by his opponents. The point is a good coach can get ideas from anybody and has to choose what to do in the end.

BB talked with Kelly a bunch before they went heavy uptempo in '11 and '12, there were articles at the time about how Kelly's influence and one word playcalling were affecting the Patriots offense. They havent gone uptempo as much in recent years, their personnel changed/got injured and their key chess piece killed several people, but its hard to say how much influence Kelly stopping by the facility in recent weeks had on the offense or a particular play because the Pats offense already incorporated some of what Kelly was doing in college.
