I know it’s uncomfortable, but Bill Maher is at least partially right.

Be careful. She will get all butt hurt and flag your posts...

Welcome to Jez!! I’m sure there are lots of posts along the lines of
“The Bills are my new favourite team”... yet not too long ago there was a DV/violence problem with the NFL...

Don’t be obtuse.

You seem to think that to be an ‘actual coach’ you need to be someone standing on the sidelines screaming, or working on physical plays. She is doing coaching work, just not the kind you see on TV.

Yea, coaching’s one of those jobs where those with no playing experience always start halfway up the ladder.

Becky Hammon also played basketball professionally for 16 years in addition to her college experience...also basketball is a completely different sport with different coaching structures and career trajectories.

Umm... quality control coaches are how a great deal of folks break into the NFL ranks. You’re not going to be hired to be an actual position coach with zero coaching experience (and she has zero prior coaching experience).

Sigh. I love how people are rushing in to comment on this and making comments on the actual game of football...without apparently knowing anything about football.

The water boy to the coaches? Your ignorance (even after doing a Google search!!) is staggering.

Quality Control is the ground level of coaching. I work with an NCAA team and we have three Quality Control positions. They are just as valuable to the assistant coaches and head coach as any other underling position. So will she be charting plays and making game time decisions? No, probably not. But this is a…

Yeah, that’s not it at all. A QCC is basically a factotum. They help break down film and analyze opposing teams, and for Katryn Smith, she will help prepare for opposing special teams looks and personnel. QCC’s also make sure the coaches and players are ready with plays and game plans. To call her a “water boy” is…

She’ll be analyzing game films, which is a pretty important job. It’s not like they made up the title just for her.
