Wild thought: Can we bring in Mo Sanu to help coach WRs?
- Thread starter SBP
- Start date
Not the most ridiculous post I’ve seen this week.
It is a great post or a stupid post. There is no in between. Never saw Sanu talk about his future. Big leap by the OP. Many posted the same crap about Brian Leonard which was stupid as he had no interest
Maybe he could help the qbs? I think he has the nfls best qb rating ever.
Why do people assume a former player no matter how good they were would actually be a good coach? Just because they were blessed with athletic talent doesn’t mean they were blessed with the ability to teach the game.
So essentially you are saying let fire an experienced coach for a guy who never done it and may completely stink at it.

Any player of his caliber and experience can provide value advice. Do you think he forgot how to play the game? I didn’t say make him OC…Underwood had no coaching experience.. most of it is personality and communication skills to transfer knowledge. Mo has these traits.
The only way I see it helping is if they transplant Mo's hands on to RU's WR's.
This.
I‘ve made lots of jokes over the years about hiring Sanu as head coach, seeing as he’s good at everything else he did on a football field. But all kidding aside, it’s vey true that not all great players make competent coaches.
He might have the right personality type and interest to coach. He might not. But either way, we’re not in a position to take chances if we can avoid it. So we don’t want to be his first coaching job in as such a critical position coach.
We need proven position coaches who are also proven recruiters. Can’t afford to waste a whole o—field coaching spot on anything less than that, IMO.
Being an effective coach is a very different skill set than being a good player. There’s some overlap, but really only in general stuff that also applies to anybody, not just former players. Like raw intelligence, or as you say, good communication skills.
Being a good coach is much more about teaching than about playing. And in my experience, most people cannot teach very effectively out of the box, they need training and apprenticeship and experience.
The best soccer player I ever played for (He played for Ghana in the WC) was by far the worst coach I ever had. I agree that coaching is more about personality, motivation, and I'd add preparation. We have no idea if Mo has these traits.
Yes I am. Deion isn’t a retread and have you seen the guys going to Colorado? I’d be shocked if that team doesn’t go bowling year 1, which is a remarkable turnaround considering they won what? 2 games last year?
Guys, I've seen this up close in the hockey world multiple times, and I can tell you with certainty that great players do not always make great coaches. In fact, they are often times lousy coaches. Don't assume that just because someone is a physical freak of nature that they can teach someone else technique.
Good player does not equal good coach.
Many guys who were the top tier as players turn out to be terrible coaches. Not saying for one second that Mo would be a bad coach.
Just saying those that can do, and sometimes can't teach those same skills.

There are two things you can always count on reading this board:
1) If there is a RU player who is NFL capable, people will be posting that he is a great fit for the Jets or Giants
2) If there is a coaching opportunity, people will be posting that a RU player from some of our better teams of the past 20 years would be great to fill the role.
Neither are usually true.

And, if that's his neighborhood in the video clip, it looks like he's not spending money like a billionaire, as some pro athletes and actors and so forth wind up doing and then are surprised to learn it's all gone. So that 32M should just grow and grow.
Keep him and his family comfy forever.
