Any small chance for Irvin as WR Coach?

MIchael Irvin any small chance for WR Coach ? would love his intensity on the staff

No, I will not be coaching receivers or working for Jerry. I have a comfortable job that pays me well, young man. Thanks for the love of my intensity but no interest in coaching.

What’s the deal with your now former WR coach Sanjay Lal? Is he gone simply to allow McCarthy to hire his own people or was he a poor coach?

The best WRs don't tend to go into coaching, for whatever reason.

Heck, the best anything don't tend to go into coaching for whatever reason.

Playing and coaching are entirely different skillsets. Forget knowledge of the game. It takes a talent for administration, communication, and organization that is beyond most of these guys. Plus, and as a former athletic department tutor at a major division 1 school, I can tell you with utmost certainty that a lot of "elite" football players are marginally literate reading at 4th/5th grade levels with very basic concepts of math. My job was to re-write their incoherent essays, and teach them the difference between a period and a comma. Most universities with major football programs have armies of tutors and soft academic tracks to keep them eligible. The coaches I interacted with were a completely different breed and very sharp.

He would have already had his shot if he was getting one.

Love Irvin but nobody takes him seriously - he would make a terrible coach!

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

So wait you think that’s all one of the best receivers of all time can offer them? Drugs?

I love Irvin. Great, great receiver. Doesn't come across as a coach type. More a lead by example and rah-rah type.

Drop a pass, get stabbed with scissors

This made me laugh way more than it should have.

Doers aren't always the best teachers.

 

[Cebrin]

If you want them to all doing lines, and getting flagged for push offs, yes!

 

[Shane612]

Hell no.
Former greats don't make good coach.

Because they expect everybody to play like them.......when they don't, frustration.

Don't insult Mike by claiming to be him...

 

[zerofill]

Drop a pass, get stabbed with scissors

Might be needing him... 5 sacks for the whole year? scissors...

Oh throw behind the receiver 3x or more in a game... scissors...

Oh fumble? scissors...

No turnovers for 2 straight games? scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...scissors...

Heck, we might see Super Bowls for eternity with that kinda motivation!

 

[JBond]

we had a player with intensity and they ran him off

TO?

 

[Gameover]

Jeebus ....... We finally have a coach who is filling his staff with real NFL coaches and now someone wants a 55 year old crackhead who has only ever "coached" on a reality TV show.

I swear.

1. He’s 53

2. When did he start smoking crack?

3. I hate the word crackhead.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

why would he leave a super lucrative dream job in the premier football show on game days ? I mean seriously .

 

[DogFace]

He’s making millions in broadcasting and is one of the best for football there is.

zero chance, no way.. the Playmaker is doing just fine...

yes,, the only way you could even get him to blink, would be a HC gig,, and even then maybe a resounding NO!

Doers aren't always the best teachers.

Extremely talented players are not usually the best coaches as they just had natural talent in their said sport. There is a reason MLB HOF’er Ken Griffey Jr isn’t a hitting coach.
