We've tried underqualified at every rung on the organizational ladder over the last 20 years. Overqualified doesn't sound so bad at this point.

Good point. Why have a DB coach at all? I nominate DHall for DB Player/Coach...

"Ok DBs gather round!! Here's today's agenda:

First I'm gonna teach you the 15-yd cushion off the LOS. I especially like to use this tactic when the opponent is faced with 3rd and 5.

Next I'll show you how to lay the wood on a guy when he's already 5 yds out of bounds. You will likely get a 15-yd penalty but your teammates will be pumped.

Finally I will teach you how to trash talk a receiver after he spins you around 3 times and beats you for a 30-yd reception. It takes a special skill to do that and I will teach you that skill."

Not sure what one has to do with the other.

False.
