Will there ever be a female coach?

[4thAndLong]

I dont think so, atleast not for awhile. I dont think the atmosphere in the locker room would gel good between the players and the coach, and respect would certainly factor in.

I think this is a good debate though...And I dont mean this to be a sexist remark at all.

Thoughts?

Not in our lifetime.

Though i would gladly take over for GW if TD would let me;)

[RedEyE]

Isn't Coach Gruden female?


J/K Shelby ;)

[BLeonard]

Since a good majority of NFL coaches had some sort of playing experience in the NFL or at least, college, I'd be inclined to say no. Unless you count Kathy Ireland as the kicker in "Necessary Roughness," I don't know of any women to even play football on the college level.

P.S. Just because I said I don't know of any, doesn't mean there hasn't been, but, I'm sure the media would be all over it if there were.

[Jeff 311]

No there wont, theyll be a female president of the U.S long before there is a female coach. If there ever is a female coach i hope she's hot.

Well, GW has the boobs for the job...

Don't the players get enough verbal abuse? :rolleyes:

I agree with most of you about it not happening, but it's an interesting thing to think about.

BL, the media would be all over it...And it wouldn't be what's best for the team. Unless she was a VERY good coach, I could never see this happening, even if she is that good, it probably still wouldn't happen. PMS wouldn't be good either. ;)

[Mr. Miyagi]

Never will that happen, as long as all the players are men. I'll bet a woman president will come before a woman head coach.

[Dozerdog]

I think you will get a woman player before you get a woman coach

Maybe a strength and conditioning type coach- but that's it...

[Typ0]

I think they are more likely to create a female league before a woman plays in the NFL. Now that would be funny.

[Typ0]

I bet the whole coaching ranks would be male too...LOL.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

I dought it. But wouldnt mind watching a WNFL league form...

[TigerJ]

There is nothing in place to set the stage for a female coach: no pool of former female players, no serious consideration to have female players in the future, as far as I'm aware there are no female coaches of high school football, and certainly none who are likely to move up through college into the pros. There will be no female coaches in the pros or in division 1 A college ranks in my lifetime, and probably a lot longer than that. I expect to hang around for at least another quarter century or more.

There is one. I heard an interview with Anita Marks, who was the Miami QB. It's more like semi pro- but their teams are there.

She also posed in Playboy

The big joke was that both of Miami's pro QBs were Jewish (Fiedler and Mrs Marks) and that her mom thought that he was a nice Jewish boy for her to marry or something.

Don't you know the old saying? We can't have a woman as president because you don't want someone with PMS or Menopause with their finger on the button. It'll be a long time until a woman is President. Let's assume that the Democrats will be the 1st to nominate a woman. You can bet all those female conservatives will be waiting to tear a strip off of her. Also society is a lot less forgiving of female transgressions then men. If a woman was found to have cheated on her husband and then she ran for President I don't think people would be willing to forgive like they forgave Bill.

Female NFL coach, never happen. Too much abuse from opposing fans and opposing players to herself and her own players. In our lifetime I honestly don't think a woman will coach any major professional team and I don't think any gay player will come out while still active. When they're retired sure.

[TigerJ]

Leave it to BillC to know about a female QB who posed for playboy. LOL I think we could have a woman prez someday. I never say "never" to anything, but there has to be a huge change in sports culture before it could happen.

[TedMock]

I doubt it but hey, let's not forget all of Goldie Hawn's hard work in getting the Wildcat's to the playoffs! She's a pioneer I tell ya.

[Typ0]

That arguement about having someone with PMS with their hand on the button is just about the stupidist thing I have ever heard. It's a patriarchical construct developed to preserve the partiarchy and nothing else.

[Dozerdog]

You're not married, are ya....

:jk:

I would be a great "motivator"... They wouldn't dare sit and look "defeated" in the second quarter with me roaming the sideline. :evil:

WOW Typ0... I think this is my favorite post by you. ;)
Not all women are affected by "PMS" anyway. And if one is affected that badly.... she wouldn't have made it that far.

[colin]

I'd like to see Rosie O'donnel and Janet Reno return kicks for a few plays.

[BillC]

Terry Tate , Office Linebacker?



Ha! Watch Hillary Clinton-Oval Office Punter- She will kick everyone's @$$

[justasportsfan]

There will be a male cheerleader before there will ever be female coach......wait a minute, I could've sworn a couple of them miami cheerleaders are transvestites from the Keys.

[THATHURMANATOR]

NO......

[Earthquake Enyart]

You mean Kay Stephenson was a man??? :huh:
