The Wiz Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Is he going to demand to be a pitcher if a team wants him to play first base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Man major lifestyle change. I hope he can get used too a $25 a day per diem and riding a bus all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) it's broadcaster/coach time. He needs to let it goi agree - he's a very good broadcaster IMO on sec network/ESPN and think he'd be a great coach. I'm guessing he's doing this just to see if he can - maybe something where he always wondered if he could make it.

Broadcaster, yes. Motivational Speaker, Sure. Coach? Nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach? Nah a huge part of it is recruiting and motivating. They have so many coaches on college staffs he wouldn't need to necessarily specialize in something that wasn't his strength (reading NFL defenses). I should have specified college coach but thought that was a given. Edited August 9, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense at all, but I will never understand why anyone thinks they can identify a good coaching candidate from what they see of someone on the field. Fred Jackson's name is always thrown out there as one who would be a "great coach." Now Tebow. Based on what, exactly. Again - no offense is intended, here. I just want to understand what makes people think some athletes will make great coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to understand what makes people think some athletes will make great coaches. i have seen him in coaching mode at Osu already. He is there all the time. It's my opinion he will be good if he pursues it as a career. He's a high work ethic guy that preaches the grind and mental toughness and imo a very capable teacher to 18-22 year olds, many who walk in like they own the world and need to be "de-recruited" from day 1. That's a big part of the job. I have no idea if Fred Jackson would be a good coach. My opinion doesn't have much to do with what Tebow did on the field other than kids follow his lead partly due to his success.

hondo in seattle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) He just wins. And has the highest 4th qtr TQBR. Tebow doesn't win. But he was lucky enough to play on winning teams. Denver's defense won the games Tebow started. Tebow remarkably completed less than half of his NFL passes (47.9%) and his career passer rating is 3 points below EJ's. But he's a good guy and I hope him success. I once drove by the hospital he built in Davao (Philippines). He's a classy, generous human being.

Tebow seems like a hell of a nice guy, but he also has shown himself to be very stubborn and serve only himself and his goals. Refusing to switch positions to help the team, for example. I doubt he would be a good coach, because he would be focused on yet another comeback attempt. JMO of course. But I don't see him being a good coach. Motivator maybe, not a good coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Flutie's selfish ass, but I won't go there (I know I just went there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
