NFL Team Considering Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for Head Coach

Nonetheless, coaching is a skill which takes practice, as well as a thorough background in other areas not related to the sport, specifically coaching as a subject in and of itself.  I don't know what qualifications she brings to the job, but if this is true, and she is a good prospect, it will require more than just football knowledge.

(I've spent endless hours listening to my two sisters, lifelong gymnastics coaches, talk about the subject.  Believe me, I know.   )

How many presidents have been military vets compared to the amount of presidents who end up president without combat experience?

I seriously have seen many, even men, in my lifetime of watching the game, whom have never played a down, who could coach better than those whom have played the game.

It isn't an either or proposition to me. It amounts to she should not get the job as a publicity stunt, no. But if she gets the job and produces wins, that is what every team owner wants, and fan wants.

I don't find your parallel to be very parallel. As to whether those you have watched could coach better than those who have played, that is a non sequitur, in addition to the fact that most of those who played are also lacking in some of the relevant background knowledge and experience previously noted.
