Blast From The Past: Former Chiefs Coming Out For Eric Hicks' Football Camp

We've already had one blurb about a Chiefs player doing some good things off the field. Now here's one on some former Chiefs doing some good in the community.

Former Chiefs defensive lineman Eric Hicks is putting on a football camp at Blue Valley High School June 9-12.

"I got some oldies but some goodies," Hicks told the guys on 810 WHB's Border Patrol. "Trent Green, Eddie Kennison, Kendall Gammon, Anthony Davis, Marc Boerigter, Mike Maslowski. Blast from the past. These guys will come out and support each other."

Include Dustin Colquitt in that group, according to Hicks' website.

Believe it or not, Hicks is getting into coaching. He'll be coaching the defensive line at Blue Valley Southwest the upcoming season.

So what kind of coach is he? Players coach? Gunther-esque?

"You can be a players coach up until the point where you need to get your point across. But you can't be a yeller, I've found over the years."

Hicks told a story of sitting next to a submarine commander on a plane one time. He asked him what it's like "down under" for three months at a time and if there's a lot of yelling. The commander, Hicks says, told him you can't yell all the time or people will just brush you off.

Yeah, there was some Gunther talk in there.

You can yell...

As long as you have the respect of the one you’re yelling at.

10 + wins in 2010. Chiefs SHOCK the NFL!!! Mark it down.

I'm going to fix Hick's quote there:

“You can be a players coach up until the point where you need to get your point across. But I can’t be a yeller, I’ve found over the years.”

And that’s all fine and dandy. Everyone coaches differently. Let me know when you have more Championships than Parcells though.

2/3 of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Eric Berry.
I guess now we KNOW how Pioli feels about safeties that high... hahahaha

It works both ways...

Yelling can only get you so far. If your yelling for the sake of yelling it does no good if your not actually coaching and trying to fix the issue. That is the problem with yelling a lot of coaches fail to understand.

Being a reserved coach also isn’t a bad thing… once again if your COACHING first and foremost.

It is good to see Eric in coaching. Coach Lowe at Blue Valley SW is a good coach (just came to BVSW from Emporia).
