'Coaches are always in a hurry.' Guest Coach Kevin Greene said as he rushed off the elevator after practice last night, 'We’ll probably be watching film until around midnight.'

While it’s easy to notice that the players have been working hard under the hot summer sun, what is unknown by many is the fact that the coaches have been spending endless hours behind the scenes, critiquing every aspect of the game.

Tampa Bay Head Coach Jon Gruden has his alarm set for 3:17 a.m., and then he’s in his office by 4 a.m. watching film.

Crazy for most, but this is life for some football coaches who live, eat, and breath the game. However this day in and day out lifestyle provokes some coaches to question what they’re doing.

'You haven’t seen the kids for two or three days and that’s tough.' Joe Gibbs, former Head Coach of the Redskins told the Washington Post during his tenure, 'Like anybody else, I find myself saying: ‘Hey, am I doing the right thing? Is this worth it?’ I worry about that. I weigh that all the time.'

So is there ever a break for a coach when knowing the game is your job?

'When I’m at home, I really don’t think about football.' Head Coach Mike Martz said, 'You have to mentally break from that. Otherwise you just get fried.'

But despite the long hours and hectic schedule, Martz and the rest of the Rams coaching staff seem to enjoy what they do.

'A little fruit punch and a little tape on Denver.' Martz said, 'It doesn’t get any better than that.'
