Funny Bill Zimmer story.
Bill had been having some heart issues. Unfortunately, it was also football season. I got a call that Bill had been admitted into the hospital for observation. O.K. No problem. We had Jim Hall, Terry Ziemke and other experienced coaches who were very capable of filling in until Bill could return.
So I go to practice on Wednesday and Bill is there. Great. He must be feeling better. Pretty soon you see this little red-head marching out onto the practice field. Not far behind is A.D. Bob Allen chasing after her.
Soon you hear, "Damn it Bill, you're not supposed to be out here. You're supposed to be at home resting".
Now understand Bill formerly played with the 49'ers, was always in tremendous shape, and for some reason always took his front teeth out before going to practice. But there was one thing hear feared, that was his wife Anne.
He said, "Oh, Anne, I'm fine. I just wanted to see how things were going." Which was a lie. He was running practice just like he always did.
Soon Bill, Anne and Bob rode a golf cart back to the locker room while we finished practice.
She won!
