SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — From 1983-1985, Andy Reid got his coaching career started at Division II school, San Francisco State. The football program was discontinued but his coaching legacy still lives on.

Joe Lopiparo played under Andy Reid back in the mid-80s at Cox Stadium, where little remains as a reminder of the former Gators football program.

Lopiparo visits Reid anytime he’s nearby with his family at a hotel before a game. Despite being a defensive player, he hung out with the players Reid coached most, the offensive line, and not just for his wife’s meals:

“She would have a dinner weekly with the lineman. I got invited once.”

Lopiparo also spoke on the time when he ran into Reid at a hotel.

“The last coach out I saw was Reid, now I haven’t seen him in 10 years. I turned and said, ‘Hey Coach!’ And he said ‘Joe Lopiparo.’”

But when he stood on the same sidelines as the future head coach of the Chiefs, the players learned from Reid and Reid learned from his mentor, Vic Rowan.

“Vic Rowan was a great teacher of coaches, and he had this huge library of playbooks from every school. He’d call up a coach and go, ‘Hey, can I get your playbook?’ And guys would send him their playbooks,” Reid said.

No wonder Reid has such a vast knowledge of plays to run.

Gil Haskell, a retired coach, Super Bowl winner, SFSU alum and coached with Andy Reid while he was in Green Bay, spoke on Reid’s playcalling ability.

“Now when I see his teams play on the goal line, you know they run that flip pass, damn near every week, well they had it back then and when we did it, we did it with Brett Farve and he’d just, wham. It would hit him right in the rear end. And Mike [Holmgren] would go, ‘Hey Andy and Gil, what the hell was that play?’” Haskell said.

“We’d play in these packed houses and he’d say, ‘Gil, remember State?'”

“He never used foul language, just like our head coach Vic Rowan, he never did that, they coached the way coaches should coach, they could actually host a clinic on how coaches could coach,” Lopiparo said.

Times were a little lean at the DII school, so Andy Reid would come to a patch of grass in front of the school gymnasium and sell hot dogs.

“What he learned from Coach Rowan: organization. They had one room, with four coaches in it and Coach Rowan, you know, you didn’t have your own office,” Haskell said.

“You had all this stuff you could look at, you could dive into. And he was great about teaching you, sharing with you his knowledge,” Reid said.

Reid learned to be good at many sports while at SFSU.

“He was a fabulous racquetball player. Really good, and if you didn’t get out of the way he hit you,” Haskell said.

He used the city known for it’s Golden Gate Bridge, as a gateway to being one of the most successful coaches in NFL history.

“He was a good coach then, and he paid attention to a lot of detail and, you know, coaching is a lot of breaks and the fact that he knew Coach Holmgren, who got him to Green Bay, had a lot to do with it. It’s who you know too,” Lopiparo said.

But never forgetting the former coaches he coached with and players he coached.

“It makes you proud because his roots are here and just being around him and getting to see him once in a while and talk to him, is awesome.”

Art is always experienced through a personal prism of mood and experience that varies from moment to moment. So it’s really impossible to say whether the Labor leadership video Liz Kendall uploaded on YouTube is better or worse than the one Andy Burnham uploaded on YouTube. Admittedly, that’s mainly because they’re both pretty bad.

At least Burnhams looks like a guide video. It is a textbook “Man of the People” profile piece. There’s our Andy, a brother and a son and a husband and a father. There’s our Andy, eating store-bought sandwiches and making keepy-uppies. There is our Andy, who is played by Monica von Friends at the university. There’s our Andy talking about himself next to a suspiciously pristine white leather sofa while his buddy Charlie Falconer whines about what a good guy he is. I wonder who this “Charlie Falconer” character is? Maybe he’s a greengrocer. Or a chimney sweep. Perhaps we’ll never know – surely he’s not related to longtime Labor colleague Lord Falconer?

The message from the Burnham video is that Andy is just like us. He is a man you can trust. That is, as long as you want him to be a man you can trust. If not, just say the word. He can change. He can be whatever you want as long as he’s in power. That’s the most important. Nice, sweet strength.

The Kendall video is something else entirely. She is the only star. We don’t learn anything about their life. We don’t learn anything about their family, background, regrets, or ambitions. The only thing we learn about Liz Kendall is that she doesn’t know what an erase key is.

At least that’s the only possible explanation for her confusing approach to writing. The video shows the process by which Kendall got into creating her own narrative for the video we’re watching. First she writes it all down on a notepad. Then she carefully types it into a computer. There can’t be any mistakes. The last time she tried typing a speech into a computer from scratch, she misspelled the word “aspirational” and couldn’t figure out how to undo it, and she had to toss the entire computer in the trash can.

Sometimes Kendall gets up and paces up and down. The lamp is on. She is the last person in the office. This is what a Kendall tour would look like. If you want your leader to take 3 times longer to complete a simple task, she is your wife. If you want someone to squint the technology like it’s trying to sell her a seedy timeshare, she is your wife. If you’re looking for a leader who lives in an abandoned MFI home office that could be floating around in space for anyone who damn well knows, the choice is clear. You have to choose Kendall.
