Coach’s Corner: It looks like Philly and Pittsburgh

Editor’s Note: Below is a questions and answers column running each Tuesday called “Coach’s Corner.” Sports editor Josh Koehn and former Gavilan football coach Bob Garcia, father of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia, will talk about all things football.
Koehn: Bobby, it’s Josh Koehn.
Garcia: Hey, Josh. How you doing?
K: I’m doing good. How are you?
G: Well, I’m out trying to do a job, but I’ve broken all my hoses and I can’t find anybody to fix them. So, it’s kind of a crappy day.
K: You doing some work in the backyard?
G: Yeah, I’m doing some work up in the hills.
K: Well, you got a quick second to talk?
G: Yeah.
K: Well, let’s talk some playoff football. What did you think of the games this weekend?
G: Well, I tell you what, my Steelers are still going.
K: There you have a team that’s definitely looking good.
G: I tell you what, the surprising one is Arizona. They’re really playing well. They really took it to Carolina.
K: I did not see that one coming at all.
G: I didn’t either. Especially the quarterback, Jake Delhomme, what in the heck was he thinking? He wasn’t seeing anything. (more…)

Coach’s Corner: I’m no fortune teller

Editor’s Note: Below is a questions and answers column running each Tuesday called “Coach’s Corner.” Sports editor Josh Koehn and former Gavilan football coach Bob Garcia, father of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia, will talk about all things football.
Koehn: Bobby, it’s Josh Koehn.
Garcia: Hey, Josh. What’s happening?
K: Not much. How you doing?
G: I’m doing all right, just got a little chewed out by my son a little bit.
K: Really?
G: Well, that last article we put out, Tampa Bay, I don’t know which paper it was, ran it in its full content. I feel bad that I mentioned, like, Derrick Brooks, a pulled hamstring, that he looked like he was in a wheelchair. He was really trying — it kind of hurt him.
K: Well, you mentioned he had an injury and everything.
G: I know it. Anyhow, whatever. I feel bad about that. I really did.
K: Well, we’re not trying to —
G: We’re not trying to rip anybody. Whatever. … I except full responsibility for what came out of my mouth. What the hell? What more can I say?
G: Well, we’re going to try to keep you out of trouble this week and just talk about the playoffs then.
K: Well, you know what, my two teams that I picked (for the Super Bowl), hell, they’re already out the door. So, I gotta hang it up, man. (more…)

Garcia:
Hey, Mr. Josher. Did you read the Mercury [Monday] ?
K: I sure did. You’re getting some publicity. (Editor’s Note: Page 2 in the sports section of the San Jose Mercury News Monday had a small blurb that mentioned the Gilroy Dispatch and Bob Garcia’s column criticizing Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden)
G: Hey, have I been knocking Gruden this year?
K: Yeah, I think you have been knocking Gruden this year.
G: Well, hey, knock him in his (expletive) head and tell him to start running different formations. Their offense is a piece of crap.
K: Hahahaha!
