Questions About Nfl Coaches Pictures

Mary asks…

what are the pictures are called that the NFL teams are able to have on the sidelines during games?

The pictures that the coaches show the QB's for them to see how a series went. And the defense's can see too!

admin answers:

Game Polaroids. As in instant camera film, although I'm sure by now they are digital and the name is just a throwback.

EDIT: Seriously, they are called "Game Polaroids" or just "Polaroids" Al michaels was talking about it last Monday.

John asks…

Where can I find a list of all coaches for the NFL (not just head coaches) from 1989 to present?

It would be nice if they were organized by team and awesome if they had pictures! Thanks so much!

Carol asks…

NFL coaches covering their mouths?

NFL coaches cover their mouths when giving plays. Where on the internet is a picture of a coach covering his mouth. (Mainly want the Jet's coach but will take any)

admin answers:

Mike Holmgren was the first person I thought of when you asked that. I mean, all coaches do that but it seems like he is always doing that. This picture is a side angle, but it kind of gets the point across.

William asks…

How are NFL Wild Card teams specifically determined?

I realize that one must be "the best" in their division and not already qualify for a playoff spot, but who exactly determines what "the best" means? (Somehow I have the mental picture of an NFL official sitting in a lawn chair on the beach being personally pampered by head coaches from various teams.)

NOTE: I know that it's much too early in the season to worry about wild card spots; I literally woke up this morning with the lingering thought in my head. Strange.

admin answers:

There are a whole series of tiebreakers the league uses. Someone will probably beat me to it while I go off to look for it ...

Questions About Nfl Careers Contact

Laura asks…

How do you get into NFL coaching as a career?

How would somebody looking to getting into coaching in the NFL go about doing that? Would you have to contact a team, or is it better to start off in college?

admin answers:

There are two paths to take. The first is as a player. The second is to work your way up through the coaching ranks.

As a player you would need to show a keen interest in learning the details of football. ALL details! You should expect to learn something new every day. While you are playing ask your coaches questions. Why use a certain defense on certain plays? Why not use a player on a certain down? This will not only gain you knowledge but it will also show that you are interested in the finer details of the game -- this could be a sign that you would be a good coaching candidate.

The second method is by starting off as a small-time coach. NFL coaches have already proven themselves in various areas before they became head NFL coaches. Go to clinics. Attend workshops. Map out a plan for becoming an NFL coach and do your best to stick with it. Try to work with other coaches as much as possible, especially the successful ones.

And don't be surprised if you have to start off at the high school level.

It will take many years, but if that is what you want then it will be worth the wait!

Donald asks…

Can anyone tell me what brand and model mouth guard Walter Payton used during his 13 year NFL Career?

I've contacted chicagobears.com, and they were going to search in their archives, but they haven't got back to me yet, this was months ago. Someone out there must know the answer to this question. Have a great day!

admin answers:

You're kidding me, right?
Please let me know if you you get the answer to your question.

Michael asks…

How will a Bronze Medal in the Special Olympics help me get in the NFL?

I won a Bronze Medal in the egg toss at the recent games, and now my Tommy Brady inflatable doll is telling me that I could quite possibly parlay that into a career as a quarterback in the NFL...

Should I get in touch with the New York Football Patriots? Or will they be contacting me?

You are funny sometimes, Terry, but it's pretty low to make fun of disabled people.

Daniel asks…

Top 5 RB's of all time?

This debate has raged literally for years and years now. what do you guys think? Here's my opinion of the top five:

1. Barry Sanders - It broke every fan's heart when he stopped at 30, but the lions wouldnt let him go, and they were BAD! And yes, he would have put the record out of reach, probably 20k plus.

2. Jim Brown - This is probably 1b instead of two. And like barry, quit way too early. But he had other things going (Boxing, acting, politics), so can't really blame him for this. Little known fact, was also the best lacrosse player in history.

3. Walter Payton - Took the BYOB (Be Your Own Blocker) philosophy to a whole new level. Superior back for a bad team except for a few season, even better man off the field. NEVER ran out of bounds, lived for contact.

4. O.J. Simpson - Before he turned into the second dumbest person in history (sorry, nobody beats Vick), the man was a flat out monster. Followed 2 monster years at USC which included a heisman with a super NFL career on terrible teams. Had good power, and even better speed for a bigger back. Still the only person to rn for 2000 yds in 14 games.

5 Emmitt Smith - This is probably the hardest spot to pick. So, Emmitt has to get the nod here a he did show the durability to break the nfl rushing record, and has 3 super bowls with an mvp award to match it. Not the biggest, not the fastest, not the shiftiest, but used his line and blockers better than anybody in history.

Honorable mention: Gale Sayers - Even better pure runner than Barry, which is saying alot. Terrible knee injuries in an era where there was not the medical technology to save his promising career.

Eric Dickerson - Ugh, I hated him. But man, what a back. 1800 as a rookie, 2105 in his second year. Too bad he played for the Rams. Oh, and you dont get run down when you have a 30 yd head start on the closest DB! (even if it is a prime Darrell Green.. lol)

admin answers:

Barry is the best
