OL Coaches make great Head Coaches:

Andy Reid has a compelling argument as to why O-Line Coaches make great Head Coaches. Here's 8 reasons he gave:

  • Can reach the core of men while getting them to reach their potential

  • Know how to listen - Big ears, observing eyes & small voice until needed

  • Know that working together leads to success & know how to build it

  • Know the QB Position-what makes them tick

  • Don't expect or need compliments

  • In our own world - others don't understand it & underestimate how hard the job is

  • The GRIND- we understand toughness

  • We know repetition is crucial - repeat it daily

Any other position that you could say that about? He has a good case here:

Defense vs the other team's Defense:

Miami Defensive Coordinator Lance Guidry had an interesting take on how he measures the success of his Defense. It's not what his Defense does against the opponent's offense, but what his Defense vs the opponent's defense. Here's the video:
