What was it like to be on the “Madden committee”? John Harbaugh, Ron Rivera and Bill O’Brien share memories of a legend who mentored NFL coaches to the very end.
The official name of it is the “coaches subcommittee,” and anything you find from the NFL will officially list it as such, but you wouldn’t know that talking to the men who served on it.
To them, it was the Madden committee.
John Madden chaired it, and every last coach in the group cherished being a part of it, so that’s how they referred to it.
