Michael Irvin is one of the all time great receivers in NFL history. He's never coached a day. Zero "teaching" experience. But have you ever seen him do one of his elite receiver camps on NFL network? The dude knows more about receiver technique than you could possibly fathom. And you know why? Because when you receive instruction on something for 20 years, you sorta learn how it works.

I'm pretty freaking sure Hines Ward was paying attention to his teachers and their methods and hasn't forgotton how to show someone how he was taught and what he learned. In fact, I'd bet he's already done this at multiple dozens of training camps and mentored several dozen would be prospects over the years, not to mention many of the new receiver teammates he had under him while he was playing.

Acting like he'd be ineffective simply because he hasn't had the monicker of "Coach" before his name yet is simply obtuse and borderline retarded.

first of all, he cant just come in and be a position coach until he has passed the NCAA recruiting test, met other NCAA requiremnts and pass CPR, first aid and other stuff. That is why you see guys do a year or two as a GA to get this stuff under their belt.

So I'm borderline retarded because I expressed doubt about a guy with no experience? Playing and coaching are two different aspects of the game and being good at one doesn't mean that the other comes naturally. I love Hines Ward, but I'd rather UGA hire someone that has a proven track record coaching.
