Former Bengal QB Dewey Warren used to have a sports radio show in Knoxville. Here are a couple of things I remember him saying about Paul Brown.
-Brown in his 60's would still do the calisthenics with the team to open practice.
-Practices were not extremely long, but at the end Brown would say, "That is the end of practice, but anyone who fels like they need to work more on something is free to stay longer." Most of the players would then stay and work on more stuff befor eleaving the field. That was a BRILLIANT piece of psychology. Put the responsibility on the players take ownership of their performance.
