Trojan Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Does Greg Schiano count as a college coach to NFL? I didn't realize he did 3 years of DBs for the Bears before NCAA, but he went Rutgers to Tampa. Lane Kiffin for the Raiders would too if Schiano does, though his dad Monte was the Buccs DC for forever. 1 hour ago, Teen Girl Squad said: 100% Being a modern NFL head coach is a grueling, all-in, grind of a job. The biggest issue with the McCown and Saturday candidacies wasn't the lack of experience IMO (though that was close), its that they weren't doing any serious coaching in the interim (Saturday was of a nothingburger uncompetitive high school). McCown literally was just chillin' doing nothing. I can't imagine anyone willing to live that much of a laid back life style for several years has the hustle sigma grindset that being a HC entails. At least McCown is now finally giving it a token effort. McCown coached a nothing high school when he was around playing with the Bears if I remember right like he coached on his year of being unemployed Edited February 12, 2023 by Trojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Payton took the Broncos job in part because he couldn't sit on his hands for one more year (the $$$ certainly helped). McCarthy only made it one offseason. Reich only had a few months off. McVay seems to have an existential crisis every season but keeps coming back etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVay seems to have an existential crisis every season but keeps coming back etc... I went to his wiki just now, looks like he's coached HS every time he's had time: As a player: Arizona Cardinals (2002–2005) Detroit Lions (2006) Oakland Raiders (2007) Miami Dolphins (2008)* Carolina Panthers (2008–2009) Hartford Colonials (2010) San Francisco 49ers (2011)* Chicago Bears (2011–2013) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2014) Cleveland Browns (2015–2016) New York Jets (2017–2018) Philadelphia Eagles (2019–2020) Houston Texans (2020) * Offseason and/or practice squad member only As a coach: Marvin Ridge High School (2010-2012) Myers Park High School (2019) Rusk High School (2021-2022) Carolina Panthers (2023–present) Quarterbacks Coach "McCown [wa]s an assistant coach at Myers Park High School in Charlotte where his sons play[ed]. With his 2019 return to the NFL, the Eagles allowed him to fly to Charlotte on Mondays for high school practice and game planning, and then again on Fridays for game days.[300]" Edited February 12, 2023 by Trojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can redact that criticism of him and return to his flagrant lack of high level coaching experience. I'm glad he's onto the path of getting it, sounds like he may get that coaching gig eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want me to make you feel younger, the first NFL draft I watched was when Troy Aikman, Derrick Thomas and Barry and Deion Sanders were drafted. All in the Hall of Fame for a decade plus.
