I'd rather have Steve Kerr coaching me than Michael Jordan since Kerr is less likely to say, "And at this point, you use your superhuman athletic ability to win the game." But I feel like Andrew Luck would be an incredible coach. Paly High is mighty Lucky. I wonder if he could be persuaded to cross to the other side of El Camino after practice to help coach our QB's.
I agree players often don’t make the best coaches, and it depends on the person. Sometimes people here clamor for former players (like Mark Madsen) for coach just kind of assuming they must be great at coaching.
But I am glad to hear this. Because maybe Luck does want to get into coaching, and maybe he will be really good at it, and I actually like high school football coaching. You can be innovative in it, you learn about people, development, teaching, motivating. There can be a lot of freedom in high school, too. So maybe in 4 years or whatever he’s ready to check out at the college level as an OC.
