bigbirdfanDC Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Might have been outside of the box thinking, but he knows the system and likely wouldn't have issues garnering respect. Afoot her possibility would be to bring him on as an assistant OL coach.Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenBiscuit Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Our system has sucked pretty bad.I like the idea of him as an assistant, though. I think it would be good for guys like Blalock and Baker to have an old veteran around to help the coaching staff.

Ethos Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Mike Tice is our O-line coach now. You also won't see him wearing Leis and hula hooping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop just randomly throwing around namesI think people think that players can be coaches because they played the position which was being coached.Just because a player played doesn't mean they have what it takes to coach. It's more than just teaching techniques, I'll tell you that much. People oversimplify things way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of time goes into being a good coach. Also need to know how to get through to players and make yourself different from the same old position coach as every player has had over the years.

bigbirdfanDC Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks for those that put thought into their response. To the others: in fairness, I didn't read all of the other posts (Chuck Smith, Bryan Cox, etc.) until after I posted. I wasn't riding that train in the least bit.Regarding players being coaches, I think it can be a good thing. Ironically, it tends not to work when the former player was elite. Gretzky and Isaiah Thomas come to mind. However, there's a long list of successful former players/now coaches that were only adequate players but students of the game. For example, Ray Lewis and Tony Gonzalez would probably make a bad coaches. They wouldn't understand why players couldn't do the things that they could.

I just think coaching is a very challenging gig and it takes a lot of work. There is really no way to predict who will be a goo coach until you see the man (or woman) attempt to coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I wouldn't be opposed to the idea. In fact, I actually proposed it, just a few days ago, lolMy idea was simply that, b/c he was such a leader on the Oline, then maybe he could be an assistant coach. Nothing is sure, obviously, but I certainly wouldn't mind the hire. I'd find it quite encouraging in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about coaching thoughWell as for Deion as a coach he did just tweet this...DeionSanders @DeionSanders2hThis is why I couldn't coach in the NFL. I would call timeout and Swang on both defensive backs from Seattle for that play. TruthSo yeah..... there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ICEMAN Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think it depends on the former player what kind of player was he?Mcclure wasn't the most athletic Guy biggest Guy or strongest Guy but he understood his to play the game and make adjustments and how to prepare so chances are he'd be a good coach.But on the other hand take a Guy like Joe Horn who came here one year and really helped Roddy turn the corner and become a really good player and erase the bust label he was getting.A player like Julio on the other hand while he does have a great skill set what makes him a good player is his athleticism not really his skills(route running,catching release) those will come as he gets older.Depends on who the player was what made him great his smarts or athleticism McClure would have been all over his OL after Matt took that hit from the rookie on the saints in the first game of the year. I think the OL lacks the toughness That McClure,Dahl and Clabo had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 As I have said before, I have no problem with bringing in McClure and Chuck Smith as assistant line coaches. People need to realize that they have absolutely no NFL coaching experience and thus need to become assistant coaches first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
