I do think it will happen at some point. He obviously wants to become OC at some point. Don't know if it'll be know though... Wait and see is all we can do I guess...

Cooley knows the game he should definitely get into coaching

Cooley is in a very unique position.

He is highly intelligent and has gained experience in two very different but very successful offensive systems. (Gibbs and Shanny).

Idk, maybe it's just me but there's a difference between knowing the game and being able to teach others the game. The former is being a great player and the latter is being a great coach.

Just to use the most recent example that comes to mind, Adam Oates was a HOFer for the Caps, by all accounts knew the game, but he was absolutely atrocious as a coach.

Fair point.

What have you thought about his evaluations of draft picks and FA's?

He has usually been spot on with how they will fit in and contribute based on my recollection.

To be fair, I don't listen to enough of Cooley on the regular to form a basis of opinion on him.

I see his content that's reposted here about tidbits from the game, or play breakdowns where he points out the flaws/successes and I generally agree with it, but that's about it.

All I got is I agree that he knows the game and is a good analyst about it, but can't conclude definitively that would make him a great coach. Great coaching is more about connecting with the players and putting things in terms that makes it easy for them to learn and remember. The truly great coaches also gameplan for players' individual strengths so they can maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.

TL;DR: there's only one way to find out if he'd be a good coach. But I don't want to be the team to do it. As much as I hate to say it, I'd rather we bring in a guy without any connections to this franchise. I don't see DS being comfortable with outside NFL talent though. Also Chico made a good point, if Cooley was to come on staff here he needs to start at the bottom and work his way up the ranks. Man's never been an NFL coach before.

Listening to him over the past couple years, i think he’d be more interested in a job in the front office.
