Would Alex Smith make a good coach?

When he calls our plays, we're down by 10 or more points and the defense is in prevent mode.

Ok...so they are expecting the pass then and they still execute.

Last year against the colts before halftime he executed a real nice TD drive. Were they in the prevent? The saints game this year...they were in the prevent too?

Everything was open underneath. Yes, they were in prevent.

By the way, did we win those games? Exactly.
I think he can. He's smart enough. He's hard working enough. But will he be agressive enough?

Who cares if we won or not. That's irrelevant to the discussion. Did Alex Smith call plays the whole game? No. Did Alex Smith get burned on that half back option pass? No.

And all the throws were underneath?Are you talking about that throw in between two defenders to Crabtree or the pass to the back of the endzone to Vernon Davis?
Based off his demeanor, he doesn't seem coach-material

Careful, methodical, even keeled and thinks things through. Yeah you're right. He'd be a terrible coach.

I'd rather have a passionate, fiery, emotional guy who gives great motivational speeches...oh wait.

LOL. He'd be perfect as a coach. He just may not be the right QB though. Coaching and QB are vastly different. A student of the game, a hard working guy and a highly intelligent person are good qualities for a coach.
How are those drugs anyway? They sure must be sweet!
Right........
I think he would. Might be an OC in a decade or so, start off in college, work on up maybe.

Right........

How is it unreasonable?

Michael Jordan = GOAT as a player. But as a coach/owner for the Wizards..? He was fired.

Phil Jackson...didn't do much as an NBA as a player (averaged 6 ppg). But Phil Jackson as an NBA coach...GOAT.

The whole point is sometimes you play better than you teach and vice a versa. Alex isn't a good QB but he's certainly a smart guy who understands the game. So how is saying that me being "high dood?"

Phil Jackson had great, great players. Some of the best to ever play the game in the modern era. Once he got "good" as a coach he was able to CHERRY PICK another dream team situation for more Championships. He is good but he had amazing talent along the way too. Give him average talent and you won't win the Championship.

This is exactly my point. I think with the right grooming Alex could be a pretty good coach. He'd be a perfectionest. Very detailed oriented and Diciplened.

He'd easily be a better offensive coordinator than any of losers we've had in the last 8 years.

I mean the last 2 years. Haha. Sorry. So basically Raye.

He'd be better than Raye and Hostler. That's for sure.

I'll agree to that. Alex was calling all the right plays and executing them during the 2 min offenses. Alex would be probably be able to open the offense a lot more and be more creative given his intelligence and experience of having OCs and HCs that limit the play book over the past few years.

Yeah...after all...Alex does know..what? 6 or 7 different play books? That's gotta help him some day down the road.
