Kosar interested in Miami job
Bernie Kosar was one of the smartest quarterbacks I have ever watched. He understood the game so well, and from his commentary on Browns' preseason games, obviously still does.
But Kosar's interest in the Miami coaching job reminds me of when Ohio State fired John Cooper, and Chris Spielman made waves about wanting the job. It's a nice idea in theory, but it's unrealistic. As it happened, Ohio State brought in Jim Tressel, who has been one of the greatest hires in modern college football history. Of course, he had a terrific college coaching resume.
Most coaches need to start somewhere other than the top. Even in the pros, players start as position coaches before being elevated.
It works this way in the GM circles to. An exception is, of course, Matt Millen, who jumped from the booth to the top in Detroit.
We all know how that worked out.
The truth is, a college coaching job entails so much, I don't know how anyone without some kind of coaching experience could handle it.
Kosar may be interested, but I can't imagine Miami giving him more than a courtesy interview.
