Peccatiello has been an assistant couch his entire eurecr. unlike some coaches who have been head coaches on the collegiate level before entering the professional ranks.
He worked as defensive coordinator with Jack Patera's Seattle Scahawks before coming to Washington and understands the role of the subordinate in the everincreasing complexity of profess io n a I t oo (ball coaching.
A head coaching position is Peccatiello's goal, he said, but attaining it will be a mailer of good fortune and hard work.
"Well, it's an ambition like everybody ofse has their goals," Pcplaiicllo said, “but
you jus^o day by day and do the best job you caii at what you’re doing."
"Sure, 1 want to be a head coach, but wanting to be . . . how do you go about doing it?” Peccatiello asked rhetorically.
"You want to be a millionaire, how do you do it? You just work hard at what you're doing and good things happen," he said.
While he’s waiting patiently for the good thing to happen to him, Pec continues to help prepare the Redskins for the playoffs which they will host because of their victory over New Orleans and Philadelphia’s upset of Dallas last weekend.
When he's not wrapped up with coaching responsibilities and making sure his family's happy, Pec plays racquctball with the same vengcnce his linebackers show stopping a sweep.
"He’s a competitor,” Redskins' trainer and racquctball opponent Bubba Tyer said simply in characterizing Peccatiello.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.” said Betsy Peccatiello.
