Where did she play? Ever start? Ever scrimmage? Ever even on a scout team?
I suppose one can design & call plays, & diagnose weaknesses & strengths in an opponent without ever having played the game, but it just seems stupid to consider hiring anyone who hasn’t played at any level. I guess she could coach a peewee team, but anything above that? Nah.
I’d say that counts, but it’s a weakness in his resume’, but he’s also coached at the HS & an asst coach at the college level. Dr. Rice, for all her accomplishments, has nothing to offer as a football coach in my view. However, I can’t think of any football coach I’d want as Sec’y of State, either.
