(Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from Ron Cherubini's
'Pirate
Time Machine' special feature on former Pirate quarterback
Sean McConnell,
which ran on Bonesville's front page the weekend of November 3.)
Since Sean
McConnell was a Steve Logan quarterback, I had to ask the question, “Hey,
what exactly does Logan talk about when he pulls the quarterback to the
side?”
What follows here
is the inside scoop about what really goes on down there between Logan and
his quarterbacks, according to a man who knows:
“Actually, a lot
of the times, (the discussion) has nothing to do with the game at all,”
McConnell said. “He will take you off to the side and ask, ‘Are you feeling
OK?’ or “You never thought you’d be playing in front of 80,000 people did
you?’
"Other times, he
just wanted to be sure you were relaxed and he might say, ‘You’re doing this
very well’ or ‘What are you seeing?’
“You know he always is off to the side on
one knee. He would say that he wants to get a different angle… to see the
game from a different perspective.
"As a quarterback, to be over there with
him, it made you feel special. Like a leader, pulling you off to the side,
letting you talk about what you think will work, what you want to do.
Nothing better than a QB saying this and this will work, and the coach
calling it.”
