1. ROSE IS COACHING FOOTBALL. We would have picked Dorothy Zbornak as the obvious football coach here, but Rose turns out to be brutally competitive in the manner that only someone from Minnesota who was never, ever allowed to feel anything directly would be. (This could explain why Minnesota football has, for the better part of 50 years, chosen passive-aggression over outright aggression as a strategy.)
2. ROSE USES SABAN TECHNIQUES. Or maybe Nick Saban uses Rose Nylund's techniques, since this episode aired in 1989 while Nick Saban was a DB coach with the Oilers. You laugh, but the man will take an edge wherever he can get it, and oh-- when, exactly, did Nick Saban decide to quit being a mid-level NFL assistant, and take the next step to being a head coach by taking the Toledo job?
