I read about these things where people pay $1 million to have lunch with Warren Buffett (he gives the money to charity). But they get to have lunch with him and ask him whatever they want (obviously investing).
Tony Franklin charges for camps and seminars, so I wondered who you all would pay $1000 (out of your own pocket) to have lunch with, and what would you ask them? Maybe we could even do an alive/dead type thing. It's a fair answer to say "nobody is worth $1000." We can assume they are giving it to charity. That may not be a fair assumption for some of these guys.
Deceased: Sid Gillman - I'd like to ask him about how he developed some of those original passing concepts and about the history of developing the timing in the passing game. Then I'd ask him what he'd be doing these days if could coach. I'd spend the rest of the time just thinking about football getting as abstract as I could until my brain exploded.
Current: June Jones - I don't know Jones so maybe others will say don't bother, but I wouldn't even necessarily ask him about his offense that much other than some general stuff. But I'd like to talk to him about the history of the shoot, his time in the NFL, what it's like to build up a program like Hawaii and do it his way.
Runner-up: Mike Leach - I'd spend the first hour talking football with him, but I think the second I'd let him talk about whatever weird and random thing he'd want to talk about.
Lot of passing guys huh? Bill Walsh was a close second and I'd ask him about everything about football.

I'd pay to sit and talk with Tom Osborne. I would ask him about his coaching philosophy not so much x's and o's. I like how he created the unity council. The unity council was a group of players that came up with the consequences of the team. If a player got in trouble they would have to go before the council and they would hand down the punishment not the coaches.

JO PATERNO. I'd like to hear how he has seen the game change over his many years of coaching, and how he may have had to change his school of thought, or coaching style regarding coaching from old school to coaching the young man of the 21 century.

His money works for him, not vice versa. I have heard that he sneaks out at times driving a late 90's Escort. I think I would really like that guy. Glad to know his family supports youth football. I hope they don't help the soccer league!

Being a Chicago kid - from the dead files, it would have to be George Halas, to talk with him about his 40 years as a coach.
From the living, Joe Paterno - all that history and all those stories he has - that would be great.
From the modern day (not that Joe Pa is not modern day, mind you) I would enjoy a sit down with Herm Edwards. Not so much for the x's and o's, more for the intangibles, the "being a man" stuff that he does, and that he preaches to his team.

Honestly no one. In todays world I think you can learn plenty by researching anyone or anything on the internet- there are much better ways to spend a grand in my opinion.

Lawrenceville Mourns the Loss of Kenneth W. Keuffel
A service in memory of Dr. Ken Keuffel H'59 '61 '89 '90 P'79 will be held on Saturday, February 25 at 2:00 p.m. in the School's Edith Memorial Chapel. All attendees are invited to a reception, which will follow immediately after the service, in Foundation House's Alumni Study. Keuffel passed away last Sunday evening, February 19.
Keuffel's legendary football career took him from prep school to college coaching and back to prep school, a path that has inspired the loyalty and admiration of thousands of students, colleagues and fellow coaches. As captain of the undefeated 1941 Andover Big Blue, Keuffel went on to serve in the U.S. Navy in World War II in the Pacific Theater. After the war, he played football for three years at Princeton. Recruited by the Philadelphia Eagles following graduation in 1948, his N.F.L. career was brief but exciting — that year, the Eagles won the 1940s equivalent of the Super Bowl.
Keuffel began coaching at the University of Pennsylvania while earning a Ph.D. in English, and a dual tradition of coaching and teaching was born. He first came to Lawrenceville in 1954 and coached for seven years, five as head coach. A six-year hiatus at Wabash College, where he enjoyed nothing but winning seasons, led him back to Lawrenceville, where teaching and coaching are synonymous.
From this point on, Keuffel became a Lawrenceville icon: Kinnan Housemaster, Master of English, and Head Football Coach from 1956-60, 1967-82, and 1990-99. He compiled an impressive record of coaching four undefeated teams and going 151-89-8 in his career. As the Director of the "Hall of Fame Football Clinic" for 20 years, Keuffel provided first-rate coaching instruction to both high school and college coaches throughout the area.
Few masters in Lawrenceville's long history have generated as much respect and loyalty as "The Coach," because he always cared more about the boys than he did about the wins. In fact, there is great lore surrounding the volumes of letters Keuffel received over the years from former players and admirers, including Andover classmate President George H.W. Bush, Yale Coach Carmen Cozza, the legendary Joe Paterno, senators, Hall of Famers, university presidents, and more. All touted the lessons he taught about attitude — toward life as well as sport, discipline and the drive to achieve, the value of good habits, and the importance of a strong work ethic. As former Lawrenceville English Master Jim Adams '65 wrote, "One simply cannot thumb through those volumes and fail to understand that lives, and lots of them, have been changed and enhanced — indeed transformed — by this man."
Among the players who kept in touch with their former coach, Billy Granville '92, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, remembers the powerful impact of "Coach K": "I thank God for him, for shaping me into a man. He loves to win, but he really loves his players. He touched my life. I used those experiences to be a better husband and to value people. In my heart of hearts, I know my best experience playing football was for him."
Many of the coach's best lessons have been preserved in written form. He is the author of three books, including "Simplified Single Wing Football," "Winning Single Wing Football — A Simplified Guide for the Football Coach," and a book on eighteenth century English satire. As N.F.L. Coach Bill Belichick has said about Keuffel’s recent book, "The principals of single wing football are enduring ... Every coach in football can profit by reading this book."
Keuffel retired from Lawrenceville in 2001 after serving the School for 41 years. He is survived by his wife, Betsy; three children, Ken Jr. '79, Elizabeth, and Catherine; and four grandchildren.
The Keuffel family has asked that gifts in Coach K's memory be made to The Lawrenceville School.cool

Monte Kiffin: Ask him about the Under Defense and just let him go.
Pete Carroll: Ask him how to build a program
John McKay: Talk to him about being the greatest coach at USC, and having the worst team in the NFL (Tampa Bay Bucs).
Paul "Bear" Bryant: Talk to him about what he did at Texas A&M. I still read junction boys and get chills.
