Steve Crosby
[edit]- ... that Steve Crosby was named the National Football League's top special teams coach, but his team had "the worst special teams season in NFL history" three years later?

The hook is too negative for a BLP. The source actually says "by some measures" or "arguably", so that needs to be changed, but I would prefer to see another hook. Everything else is fine. StAnselm (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Steve Crosby was named the National Football League's top special teams coach in 2007 and developed the league's most accurate kicker of all-time? —Bagumba (talk) 06:39, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's much better and I'm happy with the alternate hook. I note that "developed" does not appear in the article (since the hook is a synthesis of a number of facts) but I think it is justifiable from the context. StAnselm (talk) 06:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
