Good for him. It’s also wild that guys can just get nfl jobs over guys who have been grinding for years. The best is when he gets a head coaching job for “fixing” a guy who was considered a borderline top 5 qb before last season.

Those who can't do, teach.  Those who can't teach, worked their way up through someone's coaching tree over 15-20 years.

I always hated that saying. I know you don’t mean it but always thought it was degrading to teachers haha.

 

getting off my high horse, I do think the lesser players are better coaches than the stars. I just have friends who grind so hard in coaching but never get their break because they don’t know the right people.

Excerpt from PFT article linked above:

 

"Wilson has started 189 games in his NFL career. Webb has started one game, the Giants’ meaningless Week 18 game at the end of last season. But Broncos coach Sean Payton apparently thinks the 28-year-old Webb can teach the 34-year-old Wilson about the quarterback position."

Sorry - drinking too early. I was thinking of Joe Webb. Colts game a few years ago.

 

No worries. Confusing Webbs is easy enough to do while sober.

My brother and sister are teachers so it's in my blood to take a swing at them every chance I get.

 

Regarding the coaching part, completely agree.  Everyone jokes about the "old boys club" with the owners but it's just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to coaching.  You have to know someone that knows someone that knows someone just to get an internship in college and hope you can ascend.

That was knowing someone and riding coattails but your example still stands.

This isn’t just about Russ this is one of the best coaches in the league taking the next potential up and coming HC under his wing.  Great spot for him.  
 

Sean McVay was hired at 30 years old as coach of the Rams.  
 

I see Webb heading this track as well in 2-3 years especially after serving under Payton.  


Given his history with Allen….nah I’ll just see myself out now.

I never, ever understood this. Russel was called old and washed up last season… and that season was light years better than anything Davis Webb could even dream of having produced. He’s also 6 years younger than Russ. If you’re Russ, how do you listen to this guy? 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
