CFZ Players to bring onto the coaching staff next season

[phildadon86]

Before anyone says "not all players make good coaches." I know that already.

So now that we got that out of the way hear me out.

There are 2 ex players that I would love to bring in and put on the coaching staff even if its as an assistant.

Player 1- Travis Frederick. We have been feeling his loss every since he got his diagnosis, but what stuck out to me the season he sat out was what he did that season. He stayed on the sidelines with a headset helping coach up the OL. Lets not forget that Travis is was a stud on the field but was also a student of the game, and a very smart dude. He has an engineering degree and scored a 34 on the wonderlic. His line calls were also almost always perfect. I think he would be a great mentor for the younger guys who are already playing well.

Player 2 - Sean Lee. This man unfortunately couldn't stay healthy but man his brain and heart were incredible. He would die on the field if it meant helping his team win. Bringing in a guy with his passion and his mind into the LB room would be something that could take guys like Cox and Clark to the next level. His ability to process was second to none and his feel for games was also incredible. I still remember that Philly game where he was literally everywhere. He know what the Eagles were doing before the snap that entire game. He spent that week devouring film and was ready. That passion would go a long way. He was always called the coach on the field and I think its time to bring him into the fold.

I know that not all ex players make great or even good coaches but these 2 particular players I believe have the knowledge and passion that could translate to the young players on this current team.

What are your thoughts?

Very good suggestions. Two guys who excelled but had careers cut short by injury/medical conditions.

I think these guys are capable and knowledgeable but coaching is more than a sunday thing, the hours that coaches spend is very long, when players go home, coaches are still there working. Off season you may get a little time but not much and you are right back at the long hours going over players for the draft. Coaching is not for everyone.

I guess the next question is, "do you want to be a coach"?

My guess is no.

I agree. I just think that Lee and Frederick love the game so much they would love to be around it. Thats all

I think Lee get into coaching and was something he talked about once he retired. I don't know at what level or what team but I do think Lee will jump into coaching ranks.

Frederick on the other hand seems to have other interest, he is a co-founder of a company Demiplane

I think a good one would be Jason Garr…………never mind

Are Lee and Frederick currently involved in coaching at the youth level (Pop Warner, or similar organization) - or part of a state school athletic system i.e. Texas UIL?
A segue --- congrats to Coach Jason Witten and his award as TAPPS High School Coach of the Year - and the accomplishment of the Liberty Christian Warriors in his second season at the helm.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I think both of these guys are smart and would make good coaches.

I have a better idea though. Can we move Dak's contract off the books if we change his job title from QB to injury rehabilitation and fitness coach?

Jason Witten and Tony Romo.
