Being brief.

I think they are. A football locker room is different than most if for no other reason just the shear numbers involved. I think a NFL locker room will rally around a player that comes out. It will become very protective of one of their own doing that. However, because of the numbers, there is apt to be a couple of players who have a problem with it. It will be the task of the coach and the organization to help those who do struggle with it recognize that it is them with the problem, not the player who says he is gay.

Always. There are always things you can look back at and say I wish we had done it different or better. I wish we could have developed Kyle Boller into a top flight NFL QB. I wish Elvis Grbac would have come back and let us wrap more talent around him. I wish Trent Dilfer could have finished his career in Baltimore, he deserved that. The list goes on and on

We do tend to wear a good story out don't we. I think with the explosion by way of the number of outlets today, it makes it hard not to overdue a subject given the shear volume of commentary that exist. I don't know that it is going to stop, because every time we tell our producers that we think people are tired of talking something they show us numbers that say people never tire of talking about things like Tebow, Te'o, Bounty Gate....

This game has been, is now and always will be about talent. But, being a career coach I do believe coaching can make a difference. The legendary Bum Phillips said about Hall-of-Famer Don Shula "He can take his and beat yours, or he can take yours and beat his". The key to any coach is adapting your system to fit the talent you have.
