I met him when he came to town too and he was definitely a celebrity here. :hihi:
He was playing in the old Bruno's Memorial Classic Celebrity Pro-Am here in Birmingham. I found him to be a delightful guy. We chatted it up for a few while his Pro and his amateur teed off. Don't remember the year - I'm thinking between his first and second year of coaching the Saints. Somewhere around here I have the Bruno's Memorial program he signed. He was about what you would expect. Friendly and cordial but in a no-nonsense sort of way.
Following him for more than a few holes I definitely got the impression he was FAR more comfortable talking about the Bears past with fans than he was talking with me about the Saints present. That might have been three quarters of the problem.
