[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 838536, member: 4199"] Partially, it's hard to project, because the game is so different. With Vince being forward thinking (he was large proponent of filming practice), it sort of wouldn't surprise me if he might try it. That said... So for a head coach, I'd be suspicious about coaching from the booth (assuming health didn't require it--I know Alverz did it for a game or two due to knee surgery. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named from Penn state did something similar) because part of his job is to play traffic cop. A player caller might benefit from some insulation. It's hard, because on one hand, football is emotional. On the other, doing the right thing requires being not. A sideline is a chaotic place. Too easy to fall mob mentality or caught up in the fever. A head coach would likely make fewer clock mistakes because he could see it better from the booth. Ditto making better replay decisions. But, for better or worse, a head coach needs to chew out refs. I wish it wasn't that way, but all evidence seems to point it being necessary. I think one of the best, zippy one liners was something about, "If the sideline was a great place to observe the game, the headcoach wouldn't need a headset." [/QUOTE]
