Luke is the one guy that I would be fine with as a DC or as crazy as it is HC. Tepper gave Rhule the team and Luke knows more about football on the field and off than Rhule looks to be able to learn in a lifetime.

Obviously not ideal but more fun than Payton coming here for an easy paycheck and the realization that it is hard AF and retirement was comfy...at a cost of multiple picks. Could be worse moves, ie Rhule lol.

I could see him getting so pissed at someone blowing their assignment that he forgets he’s coaching and runs in the game to cover the blown assignment himself…..

 

And probably end up making the play lol.

If their greatness was due to their physicality.

Luke was the smartest guy on the field, and that's including both coaching staffs. He did more homework than an organic chemistry major. And he was able to recognize and counter what other teams were doing in real time. And more importantly he was able to explain how he saw what he saw, and why he did what he did. Individual contributors don't make good coaches, but he was already coaching when he was playing.

He's be a natural coach if he wanted to be.

I concur. He was one of a kind.

Yea, Luke is absolutely the exception to the rule about great players not being great coaches.

Jordan wouldn't be able to teach his mentality, Kobe wouldn't be able to teach his work ethic, Lebron wouldn't be able to teach his size/athleticism combo.

But Luke absolutely can study and breakdown opponents and teach players what they should be looking for.  As long as he would be able to cope with his players not seeing everything that he would while on the field, and could adapt to that and try to coach them up, then he'd be an outstanding coach.  I'd have no problem with hiring him as the DC right now with it known to any potential HC that it comes with Luke attached as DC, also not sure many HC candidates would really care either, Luke is one of the best defensive minds the game has ever seen.  

In fact, if we were to hire someone like Quinn, who'd be really running the show on defense anyways, Luke as DC would be a perfect fit as he'd get to do what he does best, breakdown film and prepare, while Quinn runs the X's and O's of it while Luke learns to be a coach.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
