Apparently Brad Childress does have a sense of humor about himself…at least going by this little snippet from an interview he did on Chris Myers’ radio show:
CHRIS MYERS: “Mike Holmgren – you’re part of that coaching tree. He’s one of those guys that you learned under. I know Andy Reid, of course, and this is Mike’s last year in coaching.”
BRAD CHILDRESS: “Well, I’m part of the Mike Holmgren mustache tree as well.”
CHRIS MYERS: “OK, you don’t see a lot of that anymore.”
BRAD CHILDRESS: “No, you don’t, but that rubbed off on me I guess.”
CHRIS MYERS: “Well he [Mike Holmgren] always jokes that he gets mistaken for Craig Stadler and it bugs him. So, I don’t
blame him. Who do you get mistaken for?”BRAD CHILDRESS: “I get mistaken for Major Dad. For those that can remember for Colonel Klink on Hogan’s Heroes, among others, and I’m sure some I can’t name.”
A few other things Childress occasionally gets mistaken for:
- A lamp post.
- A hat-rack.
- A tree.
- A sleeping person.
Some people he never gets mistaken for:
- Bill Walsh
- Vince Lombardi
- Bud Grant
- Tom Landry
- Joe Gibbs
Okay, maybe he does occasionally get mistaken for Joe Gibbs…but only the latter-day, senile, two-time-outs-in-a-row-calling Gibbs.
I know…kind of harsh. But whatever.
