Ditka into a great coach.Leading the Chicago Bears to a Super Bowl championship in 1986, Ditka won the NFL’s Coach of the Year award. Ditka’s discipline and hard work showed that anybody could achieve success. Ditka not only coached his team, but he became connected to the players on it, and became bothered often when talented players underachieved. Not only were his accomplishments outstanding, Mike Ditka’s hardass reputation will forever be remembered in the NFL. COACHING TAKES COURAGE, SELF DISCIPLINE AND RESPONSIBILITY. To be a successful coach in the NFL, a person has to know what it takes to do something new, daring, or exciting. The coaches mentioned, Don Shula, Mike Ditka, Bill Walsh, and Vince Lombardi, all knew how to accomplish this. Lombardi used his charisma and character to get what he wanted from his players. Ditka and Shula used discipline and toughness. Walsh invented an offense that best suited his team. These men, coaches, are the people players look to for leadership. Without coaches, 22 dumb jocks would be running on the field in total chaos....
