USC did pretty good with a players coach.

what worries me is if he cannot make a good HC then we will be set back for 4 years and take 2 more to rebuild at least

hire big time or give paul petino the interim

Like I said......not 100% either way. However, when Fayetteville and the U of A become located in sunny southern california, within a stones throw of millions of people, are surrounded by boat loads of 4 and 5 star talent every year, have a history of national championships, and heisman trophy winners, we might be able to win with a players coach then too.

Until then I want a coach that can crack a whip, hard.

I was just saying USC did good with a players coach. Both styles will work. Some players do better when they are pushed and other players don't. A good coach will figure out how to get the best out of his players.

Tony Dungy did pretty well for himself.

It's not about being a "players coach" or not. Every level of football is full of different personalities and coaching styles that have shown to be successful. It's about having football IQ, discipline, and an insatiable desire and drive to want to win. The position of HC is not just a job it's a lifestyle. You have to live, breathe, eat, talk, walk your sport to be successfull. You have to have a competitive desire that can never be satisfied. There are a lot of Coaches but not all of them share the same talent, skill, and discipline. Like some athletes are just born to be players there are coaches who are born to lead. It's in their blood and quite honestly theyd be up a creek without a paddle if they werent able to do it any more because it's their life.

There are a lot of coaches who coach but there a few coaches who learn to teach and teach to learn. That's how you get coaches who can take a team of average talent and turn them into an above .500 team where another coach might win at most 4 or 5 games.
