McC: If Witten wants to coach, he's best to start at the bottom rung

Well said

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Like this McCarhy hire more and more!

 

[nightrain]

Hear the Jerral?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Damn he must not think much of Witten as a coach right now. He said quality control guy...not even a position coach or assistant position coach

 

[CATCH17]

Then why did he hire Kellen Moore as his OC? He was given a shortcut.

Love it! Witt was also handed MNF and that failed miserably. Work for it Witt like you did as a player.

Logical, but sounds fairly condescending... I’m willing to bet “blogging the boys” bungled that quote. And there’s always the possibility that Witten is a savant type who could coach right away, however unlikely.

Not really. Not by McC, anyhow. He got a shortcut to QB coach... by the previous staff. And then he got a shortcut to OC... by the previous staff.

No inconsistency on McC's part.

Moore was hired to the same position he already had... to do some, probably not all, of the job he already did... evidently McC sees some promise there.

(And btw, don't take that to mean that I'm an adoring McC follower already, because I'm staying neutral.)

Actually, they did bungle, but it was probably just the word latter.

The sentences are pretty coherent in one single theme... so if erroneous, it's a matter of not just one but several erroneously stated words.

Exactly how does one climb the latter , I think the person who wrote this should do the same.

But overall I totally agree with the assessment and you need to work your way up.

Slow pony sturt got to it

No offense to the guy but Witten has never seemed like a “savant type” to me. He had great physical talent and worked his tail off. More of a grinder really.

First things first....leave this team

 

[Risen Star]

He needs to climb the latter?

There are a lot of players who you can tell when they are playing that they will make good coaches. I agree that I'm not sure Witten is one of those. I haven't really seen over the years where he's been coaching up the other tight ends as a player, sharing with them the nuances of the position that he's mastered. I don't know if that's because he didn't want to (which I'd have a hard time believing since he's a team player) or he doesn't know how to teach.

At least that's easier than climbing the former.

 

[GMO415]

He needs to climb the latter?

And some glory holes

 

[rags747]

He needs to climb the latter?

I think he meant to say “He needs to climb later”!

He be knock knock knocking on Heavens Doh...

Has nothing to do with how well he would think Witten would do as a TE coach. As with any job the way to become the best is to start out at the bottom. You not only learn to coach but you learn how the organization operates. The only way to be successful quickly is know everything there is about about not only your position but every position. And most importantly you will garner respect from not only upper management but your peers and subordinates.
