Johnny Majors could tell you all about being a Heisman runner up as wellHonestly, I think that has a lot to do with it. His being a Heisman runner-up, Natty-winning player kind of helps but more so being a former QB means he knows how to lead a team. I don't have any proof but I would bet if you looked at successful coaches who were former players they would probably lean to be mostly QB's and LB/S types because those guys are usually the team/unit leaders.

Two other traits I think that Heupel brings from his playing days that serve us well are his extreme competitiveness and his absolute joy for the game.
