Coach Starkey is one of the top assistant coaches in the game today.

In this episode, Bob shares several aspects that have led to his success including how he became a continual learner, his responsibility to help grow the game, how "The Process" according to Nick Saban and learning from football coaches has made such an impact on his career, why he recently changed his approach to scouting opponents, the key teaching points for coaches today, and what he believes the most important traits of an assistant coach should be.
