[quote=Black Sunshine post_id=1168766]Those are exceptions to the rule and are incredibly rare.

Belichick was a retread 23 years ago
Carroll was 13 years ago
Reid was ridiculously successful for a long time in Philly and everyone wanted him once they let him go.

The vast majority of retreads suck balls.[/quote]The vast majority of NFL head coaching hire suck balls and are gone in 2-3 seasons. The successful NFL head coaching hire is the EXCEPTION, not the rule.

The Kermit took over and here we are.[/quote]Yeah having a video game cheat code as a QB helps but Reid was still objectively a very good coach. I get that people were stupidly acting like he was the problem but dude took a broken Alex Smith and made him a pretty good QB for awhile. Chiefs fans were just so broken by Marty Shottenheimer that they freaked out when they weren't making deep playoff runs with good teams. I guess I understand their thoughts in that situation.

Deion’s impact on the game and how he can relate to the players, makes his “rah rah” hit a lot different than a “rah rah” from a coach mcdaniels.

I'm not saying Deion's act would fail in the NFL. We simply don't know that. Jimmy Johnson, for instance, was very successful jumping from the college ranks and so was Pete Carroll (although Carroll had had previous NFL HC experience). My point is that it's a major unknown whether he could effectively motive NFL veterans.

None of those guys you’ve mentioned are relatable or looked up to. Their careers are respected, but do players look up to any of the folks you mentioned? No.

Every corner or DB to come out in the last 30 years, literally wants to be Deion. He set the standard. any linebacker that wants to be good at coverage, looks up to Deion. Literally anyone on the field that wants to be a playmaker, wants to have a little bit of deions game in them - so I’d be a fool to think he couldn’t step in and motivate NFL players at a much higher level than the failed, unrelateable, college coaches you’ve mentioned.

Sanders is not ever going to be a NFL coach. He has struggled with health issues and he gets to work less hours in college. His best skill is as a recruiter. He has been very successful getting guys he wants. At the pro level, while that skill helps some, the money drives the market far more and coaches have little control over the money, especially new coaches. Sanders has even said himself that he does not want to be a pro coach. And while I get it that some of you think his coaching style translates to the next level, I have my doubts.
