I'm sorry but there won't be a female HC in this sport for many years IMO, not necessarily because they aren't qualified, but because of the men that make those decisions.
Football is an alpha male franchise run by egotistical wealthy men and coached by men that for the most part played the sport at some level in their lives.
It's not realistic for a person who didn't actually play the sport and that suffered through the physical pain as well as the mental pain of competing against other men that you had to maintain their level, even if you weren't at that level.
Playing a sport for years when every next play or practice could end your life as you know it or even end your life.

The alpha male men that this sport is built on, will never accept or respect a woman coaching them that didn't play at their level. Sure, women play in football leagues and there are some amazing athletes, but unfortunately it's still the day in age where when it comes to men vs women, there are Ray Rice's in the league that will KO his own lady and drag her by her arm through a public hallway


Just my opinion, but I don't see that day coming very soon.

A female punter or kicker wouldn't have the leg strength. Theres just too great of a physical gap between mens and womens athletics for much crossover, if any. Plus there would be issue with them being on the field for a blocked kick and being caught up in the violence.

Even Serena Williams admitted that poorly ranked mens tennis pros would still beat her because of the power on their serve.

Didn't a women's soccer player post a video a few months ago that went viral of her kicking a really long field goal?

I don't think leg strength is the problem when it comes to getting distance. Really the only concern is getting injured on kickoff plays. But it's football, the potential for injury comes with the game. As long as that's accepted I think it could happen sooner than later.

I agree I think a woman could kick as well as a man, and certainly could handle the violence if she trained hard.

The issue I see is a lot of male players would hesitate to hit a female, so if she ended up with the ball it would make for an awkward play...or a touchdown lol.

This is about as narrowed thinking anyone could have.

I couldn't disagree with what you have said anymore.
As long as we score more points than the other club on Sunday I could care less the gender of the coaches

Unfortunately that's the world we live in. Like I said it's just my opinion, I personally have zero issue with any qualified person coaching a sport or doing anything for that matter, it's just not where we are as a society.
There 's a really small pool of qualified coaches that are capable of being head coaches. I have no idea if Katie is HC material. We have all seen great coordinators fail as head coaches because they don't have the overall leadership skills. Big difference between coach, coordinator and HC.

I also agree that there are a lot of players in the NFL that would have a hard time accepting a woman as a HC. The PED, macho world they live in is a long ways from the real world.

Call me "ignorant" or "tone-deaf" but there are female owners in this league and there have been female CEO's so this comment doesn't entirely make sense...

The statement was "Head Coaches".....not ownership or CEO.

Good.

Women have no business being in a Man's league. Sorry. I've learned when people like the guy above complain about this stuff it's more about patting themselves on the back for being "woke" and bragging about it. Forced Diversity is man made and useless outside that sh-thole they call California.

I'd stop watching if Women starting playing or taking over head coaching jobs. Start their own league if they want the opportunities. I see no purpose whatsoever with putting women everywhere on the field other than to stroke your own ego. Putting them in small roles like being an assistant or a referee is fine. Trying to put them on the field as kickers or head coaching jobs makes no sense.

Equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

But the "men that make those decisions" aren't all necessarily men... not every franchise is run by an "egotistical wealthy man."

Disagree with the premise that men are biased towards men. I think men are more biased to winning vs playing the gender card. Boudica was a female general who fought ancient Rome. Joan of arc did a decent job against the English. Catharine the great in Russia is great for a reason, queen Elizabeth nuff said. Men want to win, if you can help them win, I think gender falls by the wayside. just my opinon also.
