	A brutally honest look at the Vikings coaching staff
		The reason Les Steckel (a former US Marine) was hired to coach the Vikings was because the organization thought the team had become too complacent and comfortable under Bud Grant.
		Steckel was going to light a fire under a team that, at 8-8 in 1983, obviously had some talent.
		Les ran the 1984 training camp like a boot camp, pushing his players to the brink of complete physical exhaustion.

	Washingtonpost.com: For Westbrook, It's About Time
		Les Steckel, Westbrook's position coach at Colorado and a man who both loves and defends him fiercely, is quick to acknowledge that Westbrook is a part of the problem.
		To illustrate his point, Steckel likes to tell the story of the two-week boot camp he put Westbrook through at the end of his freshman year at Colorado, when head coach Bill McCartney was threatening to ship Westbrook back to his hometown Detroit.
		But while Steckel met Westbrook when he had just left home – and while Steckel was dealing with an individual who had to shape up or face a one-way ticket back to his old neighborhood – the Redskins are dealing with a different Michael Westbrook.

		Steckel, who replaced Mike Shula after the Bucs couldn't even manage a touchdown in last year's NFC title game, runs an offense that better suits the personnel and takes advantage of their skills.
