To coaching in January.
Wild.
I think he dual served. Football, the NFL, doesn’t lend to such a scenario. I’m pretty sure besides being logistically impossible, that it’s against some drafted rules at this point. Haven’t there been some instances of checking said rules as related to assistant coaches and activation like late in season due to injuries.
Changing topics slightly again: I think Rose was the last player Manager in MLB. Ha! That would have been after that crazy Braves-Padres game where they kicked out “acting managers” of both teams. That was wild.
in 1929, but admittedly, he only appeared in one game. He retired from playing after that season.
But this would be a spectacularly dumb hire.
When was the last time an NFL team hired a head coach with no coaching experience whatsoever?
Norm Van Brocklin when he took the HC job with the Vikings in their first season in 1961.
