Tough call, especially when you wear orange and green glasses.He should be coaching our safeties and not Banda
I actually met Huggy Bear at the Las Vegas Airport. Antonio was so **** cool and we talked for like 5 minutes...offered him a Macallan at the bar but politely refused. Was real down to earth and said he was flattered. The original "Word on the street" informantEd Reed has been raiding Huggy Bear's closet....

Most superstar and hall of famers make terrible coaches. That’s why you seldom see any of them ever coach. Their skill set, talent, and approach to the game is so far elite that it’s hard for them to coach. To them certain things are so easy that when they try to teach it, the player is complete lost. Magic Johnson said it. I know it shouldn’t be but it is. Banda is a technician and he’s doing that. He just can’t coach mentality... and no one can. The player has to get that on their own. So stop with the banda bashing.He should be coaching our safeties and not Banda
I agree. However, Ed Reed was not a top recruit out of HS. Nor was Ray Lewis. In fact, Ray Lewis got the last available scholarship when he signed. Ed Reed was by all accounts ranked as a 2-star player though there was no official ranking back then. So, I think they both bring a different perspective than the usual Hall of Famer. These guys ground themselves into diamonds. They weren't born that way.Most superstar and hall of famers make terrible coaches. That’s why you seldom see any of them ever coach.

Disagree. They were in fact born that way, but like some diamonds, they were not recognized or discovered by the masses. The U ended up with these diamonds in the rough.I agree.
