What Do you Want?

When Mike Kollin was a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins and a graduate of Auburn University, his former coach, Shug Jordan, asked him if would do some recruiting for him. Mike said, "Sure, Coach. What kind of player are you looking for?"

The coach said, "Well, Mike, you know there's that fellow, you knock him down, he just stays down?"

Mike said, "We don't want him, do we, Coach?"

The coach said, "No, Mike, we don't want him. But there is the other fellow, you knock him down and he gets back up. But you knock him down again, he just stays down."

Mike answered, "We don't want that guy either, do we, Coach?"

The coach said, "No, we don't want him either. But Mike, there is another fellow, you knock him down, he gets back up. Knock him down again, he gets back up. Knock him down, he gets up. Knock him down, he gets up."

Mike said, "That's the guy we want! Right, Coach?"

"No, Mike," the coach answered. "We don't want him either. I want you to go out and find me the guy who's knocking everybody down. That's the guy we want!"
