As a sports fan, I always like reading about “coaching trees.” Coaching trees are like family trees but they show how one coach produced other successful coaches who went on to other teams. While there is some disagreement about who has generated the greatest tree, many will point to Bill Walsh, one of whose early “branches” was Mike Holgren, whose own branches produced Andy Reid and Jon Gruden.
