Why not?! She could probably do as good or better of a job as Mike Leach.

If men can coach women's sports, why not?

Well, she could probably coach MSU to average more than 8 points against Arkansas and Kentucky right now.

Of course she (and other women) could coach in the SEC if given the chance -- provided they develop the skillset -- and yes, they can do that. Many women have a higher sports IQ, more competitive spirit, and better ability to communicate and teach than men.
You don't have to have played football (or have been very good at it) to be a great coach. Nobody says much about Nick Saban's playing days at Kent State, or that he never played in the NFL.
For comparison see Sarah Thomas (a great Mississippian), an NFL official who has risen to the level of officiating NFL playoff games. She's mastered the game and obviously "sees" it and understands it as well as any man. I don't think she ever played a single down of organized football.

Hinds junior college hired a female football coach way back in the mid eighties. Got a lot of media attention. Dot Murphy I think is still at Hinds in some capacity. Her husband was the longtime football coach at Hinds.

I think everyone can agree she looks a hell of better than Coach Leach.

There's a female coach in the NFL with the 49ers. Not to mention that Dot Murphy, who was an assistant at Hinds.

If she could coach defense, there are a couple of great spots available; assuming of course she is not dissuaded by the good ol' boy attitude at the Hotty Totty school (or horty torty school = both apply equally).

I'm confused. women get their own sports. Not a 2 way street?

Seeing as some of the worst coaches are routinely passed around for years and given premium salaries I see no reason why she could not do a good job. If she doesn't do a good job she can just shuffle around like the rest of them.

Great Scot, do women have to ruin everything?

"Great Scot, do women have to ruin everything" ?

Not all of em' buddy!
But I hear ya.

In all honesty, we screw things up more than most women.
We're damn lucky if any if one or two quality women stay with us after a few months.

I'm fine with her having that dream. But she can't skip steps. She's got to be a good enough assistant to get a head job in high school. That is what? 1 of 7? 1 of 8? Whatever. Most high school assistants won't be head coaches in high school. If she gets a head job in high school she's got to be outstanding, as a man would. Probably multiple state championships. And because she never played college football if she's a great head coach her next step would be junior college or small college. Just guessing at her age, even if she's great, she would probably run out of years before she climbed that ladder to SEC. If she was 25 years old her odds would be much, much better. And we don't have any idea if she's even a good coach. She sounds good on video. A lot of people who can't coach a lick could make a great video.

That's not how any of this works. There are a lot of college and pro coaches that never coached a down of high school football. It is about who you know that will let you in the door in most cases. Someone has to give you a chance to prove yourself. Most college coaches start out as graduate assistants for their own school or at another college due to a recommendation from a coach. NFL coaches are very similar, in that they get a start as some behind-the-scenes analyst guy before they get a chance to actually be a field coach. Nepotism and friend of the program runs rampant in the coaching world.

11:21. Matt Luke is example 1. Great guy and great Rebel. Totally out of his league as an SEC Head Coach.
