Maybe somebody should tell the author that starting at the bottom doesn’t mean starting at the bottom of the NFL.

Do what most of them do: play ball, and when ball’s over you go back to school and become a graduate assistant; after being done as GA you hopefully get a gig at a school (big or small) as a position coach; you do this as needed by going from school to school and position to position if needed, or by sitting tight hoping you can move up the ladder within the school you’re at; and, then become a coordinator, on up to coach, and move around as necessary. This is how you build a resume and a network. Not everybody has to go through all that, but a bunch of them do…

fantastic, Bob. I certainly hope my niners didn’t hire Mike Singletary on the basis of race. Regardless OF his race, the man seems like a monster of a coach and he proved it from time to time. That’s why I’m hoping for a stronger next season. Sort of feels like the “Rooney Rule” was put into effect when BO was the big shiny candidate, even with Hilary as #2 candidate before BO was nominated and then it was all a downhill “you’re racist, we’re going to elect the first black president” episode from there…damn liberals to hell

anyway, well said, N.N

another thing – this one sort of felt like it could’ve been a radio spot quite possibly using some of the classic NFL films music. Call me nostalgic for last year’s resurgence OF the radio spots, I suppose, and hoping for new spots
