Hey, Coach. I believe the man wrote in his first sentence that coaches can contribute, not that they don’t make a difference.
See how I just tried to coach you how to read? Think you won’t make the same mistake again? Highly doubtful.
What ages do you coach? Have you ever tried to coach a grown arse man that if he didn’t play pee wee ball has at least 7 years of improper technique ingrained in him?
As well as, do you know a special technique that NO COACH IN THE NFL knows? Do you have a dirty little hand placement, feet movement secret that only you can coach? No? Why am I not surprised?
Could it be that EVERY technique in the football lexicon is known by any coach worth his grain of salt? There’s a Webster dictionary of football, bro. It’s all in the book for everyone to learn. So is coaching something you and I can read about and demonstrate to a person and it’s up to that player to practice, train, practice and then train again or is it the coaches Harry Potter’s whistle that grants success?
Coaches have little to do with breaking improper technique other than to bust a player’s balls over and over and over and over again in practice until he gets it right. My mother can do that.
I’ll give you time management. That’s all on a HC. But name me a famous HC that hasn’t won without a superstar? Give me a Don Shula championship team that didn’t have a player above and beyond all others.
Where is our superstar? We can’t draft one. We can’t trade for one. That’s on the HC?
And how’s this for an idea.., HOW ABOUT DRAFTING PROPERLY TRAINED STUDS? Too much to ask? We are, after all, the Dolphins so I guess it may be.
Get in a lab and create a Frankenstein HC of Shula, Belicheat, Halas & Lombardi and give them a 19 points per game offense in this era of football, see what they win you.
