Even then, I'm not sure why that matters.
Last I checked, our new HC has never played the game. He wanted to be a golf pro.

Sorry for coming off like a jerk. I usually take this stuff in stride, but the aloofness of some on this board makes it seem necessary to call bullshit, just that.
Like a lot of us, I too was a high school warrior. Being a tweener at 6' 2" 225lbs, I didn't get a lot of looks at the center position, and instead of going the JC route, I entered the service with ambitions of boxing for four years. (btw, recruiters are full of shit)
It might just be me, although by the rep comments I've recieved today I guess I'm not, theres a certain group of individuals that think their take on things are the only viable option for the braintrust @ One Arrowhead. There seem to be quite a few learned people on here, with good takes that go both ways. A lot of these opinions are discounted even before debate. It's my opinion that everyone has something to add, and we all have a common goal that our team get better by leaps and bounds.
This isn't discounting the fact that there are some dumb mother****ers on here too. But theres usually two sides to every story, and I think we gain more as fans by looking at both constuctively, instead of making blanket assumptions that one group of people have "teh knowledge", while others don't know what the hell is going on.
To add, I don't post much because I too think I know it all, and prefer to leave people wondering, instead of removing all doubt, that I am, indeed, an asshole.
