Prefer type of coach? An offensive, A defensive, or a middle guy?

New Haven and Rhode Island ??? There are HS programs better than that!!!!

OK go ahead and name me a successful HC that had no experience being a OC, DC or even a position coach in the NFL or even a D1 school. It's never been done in the modern NFL. The closest you could come is Levy but he was a HC in the CFL before he was HC in KC , and he bombed in KC before Buffalo.
Just because you've been the boss of a successful mom n pop store does not mean you hire that guy to run Wal-Mart

Why are you acting like being a NFL position coach, even for one year, is some sort of huge resume-clincher qualifier over running a ST unit? That’s silly.

You’re arguing a point that seems sort of petty and inconsequential, and treating the title of ST Coordinator as if it makes a coach a total buffoon when it comes to the rest of the game, like they don’t know ball or something.

A good NFL ball coach is a good NFL ball coach. You don’t think Sean Payton can step right in and coach someone’s DB unit? You don’t think Andy Reid could go coach someone’s DL? You don’t think Sean McVay can have someone’s ST unit on-point, including teaching a kicker how to kick?

Just because coaches are known for or specializes in one thing doesn’t mean they don’t know other parts of the game. These men are all football SCHOLARS, including Rizzi, and perhaps more importantly to this topic, are quick-studies in general if they need to learn more finer points about a certain football topic or position.

There are better arguments you can find than this. So if Rizzi coaches a team’s tight ends for one single year, only NOW is he qualified to be a HC in your eyes?
