    And those amazing football coaches would get trounced if they tried to sub in to play

    Especially at a high school level (since they don’t teach PE in college) their job is to teach you the fundamentals like knowing the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics.

        Playing at the college or high school level is not even remotely comparable to playing at the professional level it’s like comparing a manager to a ceo

        A quick google search of the best coaches brings up

        Bill belichick (never played pro) Vince Lombaradi (made it to semi pro but not pro) Don Shula (did actually play for 7 years) Bill Walsh (never played pro) Paul brown (never played pro)

        So 1/5 played pro yet they are able to coach profesional athletes, it’s almost like it’s a different skill set

          No, I get that! But I’d bet those guys at least played high school ball.

          And yes, different skills sets! People on here constantly bag on CEOs for not being able to do their low-level job. Well. No? They should have a clue though.

            If nfl is owning a business then high school ball is being a cashier.

            Claiming that a high school business teacher is unqualified because they don’t own a business is like an nfl coach being unqualified because they can’t play at a pro level.

            This is also laughable for high school where the teacher gets paid trash and needs to teach only the most basic level of info
