The graying goatee is back. The salt-and-pepper hair on top of his head is slowly returning. The clothes fit, and the 52-year-old coach is eagerly looking toward his second season in the NFL after staring down the biggest opponent of his life — cancer. ...

The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl in part because of Leach's ability to pave a path for Rice to follow.
