You know what, we're all thinking it...so I'll say it...
Defensive guys are way smarter and it's not even close.
Other than the Oline coach, wtf do the rest of the guys do?
I mean seriously, I've seen QB's in INDY period...on a knee playing pass...Coach saying "thumb to thigh" or whatever, condition piece of their drill is 3 and 5 step drops. OK Jimmy, read the flat defender...
Not to mention the QB coach is almost always the most metro guy on staff, showing up to coach in flip flops, has the beach boy/surfer look to him most of the time. Always has some kind of phuked up hat or visor that no one on staff would ever wear.
RB coaches...HEY..YOU COACH THE BEST PLAYER DON'T F HIM UP. But this is the number one go to guy if you need to BS some practice time with some kind of cone drill.
WR coaches...run 5 yards, plant on your inside foot and turn around...really? And they don't even have to be good at it, we've all seen how sloppy most receivers run their routes...
TE coach...the #1 BS job in all of football. That's why for 90% of college staffs, this guy is the recruiting coordinator.
The OC is more like a baby sitter, which could be accomplished by just about any 14 year old girl.
I don't even understand why this is a question...I mean chit, that's why zone blocking came along - Laziness and stupidity.
I bet this is how the concept was first born:
Guys, are kids aren't smart enough to chip the 3 and work up to backer, but we can get them to learn right and left so how about this...how about we all just take off and run to the right when we run right and we'll just block whoever shows up to our right, and if we run left, we'll all just run left...
(the spelling of "our" as "are" was intentional)
I mean for Christ's sake...how hard can it possibly be to run an offense? You just have to know 3 things:
Well they are a 3 man front team...well they are a 4 man front team...well they are a 50 front team...
what is that...3 fronts? Seriously? A whole 3? Sweet Baby Jesus don't hurt yourselves there fellas.
Is the Dlineman inside, head up or outside of you? Again...3
Coverage? HeII we even call one of them cover 3 to help you guys out...But there are only 2 real coverages, man and zone. But 2 zones...1 high or 2 high. AGAIN 3. and eventually all coverage is man coverage anyway...I realize this could be a source of confusion for offensive guys. Like we are in zone, OC sees zone, but then like someone dropped Ninja dush, a big puff of smoke and HOLY CHIT THEY ARE MAN!!! Yea...its freakin magic.
In addition to all of that...the #1 priority of every DC is to make an offense drive the ball. No big plays. Make an offense take 12 plays to score and the odds are they will screw it up on their own. They will turn it over, they will outsmart themselves and get tackled for a big loss because they finally think they have us set up for their boot pass.
Not to mention defensive staffs are so much more fun to go out/hang out with.
Ya know, I'm sorry if some of you offensive coach's self-esteem has been damaged by my words, I hate that I had to break it to you guys like that, but that's just how I am sometimes, it's love, but it's a tough love.
**Oline coaches - you are more than welcome to hang out with the defensive staff at any time.
