Kay Collier Mclaughlin was kind enough to share some of her family treasures with me and my family. Part of the deal is that I share this with others. I am honored to do so. What a wonderful privilege. If you love football, teaching, coaching, & attention to detail this document is for you. It is an insight into the genius of Blanton Collier. He took his military training in WW 2 and turned those lessons into becoming one of the most innovative minds in the game of football. "Coaching the eyes" was a foundation of his coaching.
