The two are both Texas natives and they got to know each other through Thomas’ one season with the Dallas Cowboys — Campbell played for them from 2003-05 — and during his visits to Dolphins headquarters.

“He’s a guy that you would love to play with and for as a coach,” Thomas said. “That’s the mentality that I enjoyed, those old-school guys that love the game and you see how it can carry over to the team, his personality. I’m a big fan of his.

“I think he’s great for the mind-set of our players. And you see they’re playing with effort. Their body language. I love to see that. That’s all I look at when I watch a game. It doesn’t matter what the score is, I like to see the guys’ body language. The first weeks were tough. You could tell. Everybody could tell with the body language of the team. The head coach is part of that. I think he’s done a great job with that. Hopefully over time he’ll get that installed in all the players. I know it takes time. It doesn’t just happen overnight. I’m a Dolphins fan, man. I want the Dolphins to do great. I’m happy that they are playing with effort and playing much better. Exciting to watch.”

Always known as a student of the game, Thomas would seem to have a lot of the qualities necessary to become a successful coach and you could just tell Monday night that’s something he would love to do at some point.

But it’s going to have to wait a while.

“I know this, if I was a coach, I’d have to be 100 percent committed and that would neglect my kids,” Thomas said. “I’ve got three kids — 5, 4 and 7 months old. Right now I get to choose my own hours, spend time with them, try to impact them like my parents did me. That’s the reason I passed on that because I know that it would be the best job I would ever have would be coach, but I know my commitment and how I would put family on the side. That’s not what I want. It’s not about me anymore.

“Maybe down the road, kids get out of school or something, I’ll look into it. Because it’s my life. Football gave me everything.”

Good read, thanks for posting!
 
Zack is a class act. Maybe he can participate at some level in a few years after his little ones start school.
 
Zach's 4 year old already has better awareness and read and diag then Sheppard...

Zach is a class act so maybe he should wait until Ross dies or sells the team.

I sure hope there is an open offer out there for him when he decides he wants a job.... Be it today or 18 years from now
