Plus his daughter is inexplicably attractive.
Inexplicable- Not able to be explained or understood
Some of you might remember her as the 'dead girl' in the
My Chemical Romance music video for Helena (Link cued up to Relevant Part).

Wade Phillips runs a 1 gap 3-4 scheme, whereas Jim Haslett runs a more traditional 2 gap scheme. In a traditional 2 gap scheme the NT and DE's will read their respective holes and react to the play as the play begins. This read-react causes the lineman to have to first think about the action, then react to it. So they have to be larger bodied men to offset the time it takes to react to the play in order to hold your ground so the offensive lineman can't get leverage on you.
And there it is.
