Mellott’s old high school was a small and not very particularly special one. It was not well known as a place that pumped out a bunch of good players that would go on and get scholarships. Because of this he was a pretty well-known name as he was the only player from the school that had ever made it to the major leagues. The kids all looked up to him and admired him. Since Mellott only played OLine really, he had no real clue how to coach. As an OLine, he only really knew how to do one thing, take down and pancake anyone in your way. So that is what he taught the kids. Instead of focusing on trivial things like different formations, plays, and drills, he just showed them what needed to be done to pancake fools and also ran them through blocking drills. When game time came, at first the offense started off with an aggressive passing attack, but after multiple unnecessary roughness penalties as the kids kept pancaking everyone. So instead they switched to a run heavy game plan, and that worked very well. They still got a bunch of unnecessary roughness calls but it was harder to call those on run plays where the teams job is to block. By the end of the game their rushing game had about 500 yards and 6 TDs. Mellott was immediately asked to become the new head coach, but with a life of being a professional football and baseball player, he did not have the time, so he declined. Before leaving, he told the kids to always remember something, “If someone is in your way and you want to pass, make sure you grab them and put them on their ass!”
