What about him for a coach?

[Valerie]

I've made a few comments about looking at Danny White (coach of the AFL Arizona team) as a possible coach. He's done one hell of a job with that team and I know he's been coach of the year at least once. He's got NFL playing experience and he's got professional coaching experience, with a winning record. I think he's worth a look. Why won't anyone comment on this? I would rather see someone who has professional coaching experience than a coach fresh out of college. Like players out of college, you just don't know how good they're going to be once they hit the pros. I don't know why no one is looking around to the AFL for possible coaches.

I'd hire him- but the Buffalo Destroyers are in Columbus now.

[Dozerdog]

Oh... you were serous about that- well- he coaches street football.

Not interested. If he had any decent coaching skills- he would be an NFL assistant

[Valerie]

Yeah, I was being serious. I don't know how big the differences between the AFL and NFL are. I would think that it would be easier to move from the AFL to the NFL rather than from college to the NFL. But, I don't know which is why I asked the question.

She just likes him because he is an ex-cowboy and she wants to have his children

JK, J.

I don't think the AFL is in the same league as the NFL

I wonder if Tobee Keeth can coach ?

[Dozerdog]

Uh- no.



Arena Football is played on a hockey rink with a rug layed over it. They have 6-7 players on a side, not 11. Players have to play both offense and defense.

The only common thing both sports have is the football itself. Completely different rules.

Yes, I do like him, but not in that way. And, he's one of the only players I used to watch play, who went on to coach. Usually they just leave the sport entirely, which I never really understood. If you were a great player (and I know Danny wasn't), I would think you would make a good coach. I don't know why some of these guys don't go on to coaching.

Thanks, Dozer. I know absolutely NOTHING about the AFL and I was just wondering if any of their coaches would make good NFL coaches.

It's like comparing stickball to baseball...only vaguely similar

Because a lot of them, like Steve Tasker, want nothing to do with what they saw their coaches go through with the long hours and such.

My ex- high school coach is available. We were 11-0 and 3rd in State my Junior year. He played TE for the Eagles once.

It's a pretty big chasm between Arena football and the NFL. It might be a positive to have some AFL coaching on your resume, but it would probably be better if you had something a little closer to the pro game as your most recent gig.

He can go coach the Cowboys seeing that's your favorite team!

[The_Philster]

I don't think it would hurt to at least bring him in for an interview....see what he thinks about how hard it would be to adapt.

I would be all for that, except the Cowboys already have a competent coach! The Bills are the ones who don't have one. lol

It was just a suggestion. As I said earlier, I don't know anything about Arena football and how different it is from the NFL. I just thought that if everyone was throwing out ideas for possible coaches, I would see what everyone thought of Danny as a possibility.
