So you are saying all players are good coaches?

What a waste of a thread.

No, you have read here many times that just because a player is good does not mean he can coach! You just don’t seem to be able to grasp the difference.

Sadly I clicked on this thread one too many times

I'm used to dumb takes and pointless threads on this board but they seem to have really ramped up the past week or so.

Many good players also make good coaches. However many of these good players would be considered over achievers or late bloomers because they had to work very hard to achieve and not based on exceptional athletic ability.

No. No you haven’t. What you’ve read is that being a good player does not automatically = being a good coach. Usually said in response to someone suggesting LSU hire a great former athlete with little to no coaching experience to be a paid position coach.

What a stupid comment. 99.9% of college and NFL coaches played at some level even if it was high school. There are probably no NFL coaches who didn’t at least play some college.

What a stupid thread. Great players do not automatically equate to being a good coach. It’s a different thing. Different type of commitment. No one thinks players can’t be good coaches.

Even Mike McDaniel as scrawny as he is.
