For example Kliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator with A & M taking the Texas Tech Job, or Dave Doeren of NIU leaving to take the head coaching job at North Carolina State. I was just wondering, because neither one of these 2 guys are coaching during the bowl game for their former teams.

Don't come on Yahoo to ask where you should play on the field. That's the coaches job. We don't know what you look like, if you can catch, if you're fast, if you're 750lbs overweight, and nobody cares. Stop asking us where to play, ask your coach. If you don't know what you should play and you're to scared to ask the coach then you shouldn't be playing football.

Id go with Vick. Vick is more experienced and athletic and I believe within 2 years even though he will be a little slower he could be better than McNabb was because Reid dealt with McNabb who ran alot in his career like Vick.

I am at the point where I feel it was a bad idea to return to where I grew up in order to coach. I deal with irrate mothers (haven't seen a dad all season) who do not know the game, yet complain that we are doing things wrong or treating their child unfair. They disrespect me on the sidelines in front of my kids and family. They contradict our coaching on the field and in practice, sometimes calling their child away while we are speaking to them. These attitudes leak into their children who feel they don't have to listen. I have had to tell some kids they can only work with the head coach, because they are so unruly. Ironically, the head coach is only their for his child and does not know the game well, so I became his assistant rather than remove my child from the team. I am the one teaching the girls fundamentals, because the coach can't. Through it all we are undefeated. Since I'm hands on, all the parent's anger is towards me and I'm at my breaking point.
