Can a women be the coach of a pro football team?

*laughing* this is a great topic. my answer is simple - football is a sport that tends to be hyped up by men and professionally only played by men. therefore, most men feel that women have no place in the sport other than on the sidelines in short skirts with their chests hanging out, jumping and screaming and making a mockery of themselves. in an ideal world, i would love to see a woman become the head coach of a professional football team. there are many women that i know who know a great deal about the game, who subscribe to the football packages on television, who play in their spare time, etc. but do i think it'll ever happen? no.

If a person knows how to coach and is good at the job, why does gender have to play into the picture???

I think a woman could do it, but not for long and not very well. Coaching is really tough on emotions, and men, who have few emotions, can handle it much better than women can. It is also very aggressive, and very few woman have that aggressive nature about them. I don't think that it would work for the players because if they screwed up, they might be yelled at by the coach, and it wouldn't be much of a punishment if the huge male players are yelled at by a woman who is probably much smaller than them.

If she knows the game why not? Women can do things just as well as men and women are better at handling and organizing thins anyway.

of couse. Why shouldn't women be able to coach if the know the game?

yes she can

I don't see any reason why not. I think it's more tradition than anything else that they don't ie. women traditionally don't play or like football but I know women now who enjoy it as much as men. So yes, if they know the game and they are willing to take the rap which will inevitable come along with being a female coach then yes they can do it.
