You haven't fully experienced coaching until you have to put a wr on your sideline because the kid can not remember to stay on the line of scrimmage. Even though every play in the playbook he is on the line of scrimmage.

One of my bosses (RIP Wayne) played for Florida in Ray Graves' day. He told me about a particular Dlineman who was let's say not a very quick learned. He said Ray, personally, worked with that player for about 10-15 minutes a day, on one thing every day (might be same several days in a row).
A player who pays attention, and has physical ability, can be taught. Now if he just doesn't care enough to pay attention, that's a whole nother issue.

I agree with the premise of this post, but keep in mind a bad head coach can trump a number of good assistants (I am not writing this is you, just felt the need to point it out). I know a guy who is a HC who will spend hours each week installing new plays on offense and giving motivational speeches, usually what gets cut out is individual time for his assistants to actually teach the players how to play football. Come game time he runs his new plays maybe once, the players bust on execution consistently, and then he complains to his assistants why their positions aren't executing and that they need to fix it (as if a brief explanation in the middle of the game is going to fix something like that). People are what we consistently DO; have your players consistently DO the right things in the week and they will most likely DO them in the game. Yup, there are a few "smorgasbord" coaches around! Just a collection of plays they've see on TV.
