Sure, if he earns his way and does something similar to what Aaron Glenn did. Scout for a few years, then assistant position coach for a few years, then 3-4 years of position coach etc. 6-8 years experience before even being considered for a coordinator role. A slow gradual climb. No shortcuts.

Great players have a hard time relating to players who don’t have great ability. On the other hand, most great coaches were average athletes in the sports they played.
even made a training camp.
Great point, I think the classic overacheiver/back-up or bit/role player are the ones who actually understand how important everyone on the team synergy goes and how to get them all on the same page. Seems like it should be the reverse with the HOF types understanding the big picture, but they are the "super weapon" not the guy who has to figure out how to get the most from all the players even the average or normal player.

Jerry should start a super fan drawing and the winner gets to coach the Cowboys for one season.

You would think, right? But remember Mike Singletary tried coaching and failed. No one would ever question his passion. You just never know.
I wouldn’t say Mike failed. He turned San Fran into a tough, disciplined and physical football team. He didn’t have the wins, but when Harbaugh came in all he had to do was install his system because the physicality and toughness was there.

One thing I've always wondered is how many star players actually pan out as coaches. Wayne Gretzky was the GOAT of hockey as a player, but supposedly when he was the Head coach of the Coyotes he saw the game the way he did as an elite player but couldn't communicate properly to his players.
Like with Emmitt, he was the GOAT RB, he knew how to anticipate seeing the hole before it opened, knew how to pace himself to wait, etc...
Can he properly teach players how to read blocking or is something that he knows how to see himself but explaining it to a player is difficult?

Just seems like most coaches are former ok or backup players who may not of been special or had that sixth sense on the field that made them elite.

When Smith was asked exclusively by Us Weekly if he’d ever think about coaching, he smiled and said, “At the end of the day, I have considered it.”

“I would consider coaching the Dallas Cowboys if the opportunity presented itself,” Smith explained while speaking to Us about his partnership with On Location.

LOL.

Seriously.

Emmit you were a good RB. But thats it. And you never were the brightest candle on the cake.
So please just be quite and go back into your corner. Let the grown up and intelligent people take care of those things.

We as fans already have to deal with an drug adict complete embarrassing idiot called Irvin.
We cant handle another has been who thinks because he could run he suddenly has intelligence and talent to do really meaningful stuff.


But heck, i guess the Joneses will consider him. The losers of the losers cant be choosers.

I’ve never seen somebody so uncomfortable with the media. I could not imagine him with field presence.

I imagine Emmitt would not have the patience to deal with the cream puff pro players today.
