NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Westhoff has always been blunt and brutally honest. He pulls no punches and sugarcoats nothing.
And the way he sees it, he could be no other way.
He's a cancer survivor who has multiple times beaten long odds. He's an innovator who established himself over 32 NFL seasons as arguably the game's greatest special teams coach. He has been a relentless fighter and constant achiever his entire life. And he's always confident — although some might suggest cocky or arrogant.
“I don’t consider myself a writer,” Westhoff said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
