Default Who is the physically weakest most unathletic COACH?

Haha, opposite of my other post. What coach couldn't beat your little sister in a fight. Ex; Dolphins head coach. Mike McDaniel

HaHa, McDaniel is the first one that popped into my head. On the other hand, he IS super confident trash talking big giant football players to their face...so maybe he knows Jiu-Jitsu or something.

Baseball has had a ton of super old guys sitting in the clubhouse. Maybe tough guys deep down and full of confidence, but not likely physically strong or "athletic".

Don Zimmer comes to mind. Don wasn't scared of anybody...and was perfectly willing to take one...or two...or three....or four, for the team.

....but you'd need 9 or 10 Don Zimmer's to beat up a single Pedro Martinez (not exactly a tough guy in his own right).

Compared to the athlete I would bet big on Dan Hipkiss. He is a skinny guy who coaches 2 time Worlds Strongest Man Winner Tom Stoltman.

Could you imagine this coach (former Kansas coach Mark Mangino) yelling at you to run harder?!?

I would take Mike McDaniel in ANY kind of physical contest or fight against Andy Reid all day long.

I am watching Hard Knocks- Miami Dolphins and I really have started to love McDaniel.

He played college ball at Yale as a Wide Receiver.

What is the highest level of football you have played?

Definitely Vince Lombardi...you know, because he's dead. (Sorry.)

I personally have never played football at any level.

In my teens I done some boxing and then karate for a few more years.

Everytime I see Daboll of the Giants I picture him being put on a stretcher. Guy has a high stress demanding job, needs to get the weight under control or it won't end well.

I know your post was facetious and for laughs. But it made me think of something I saw on a YouTube video a few years ago. A post about how to win a bar fight by some Japanese or Korean guy who was a legendary street fighter apparently. His first rule was to avoid a random fight at all costs, as you simply have no way of gauging what anyone's skill set for fighting actually is. I've known former green berets and army ranger who were pretty small men and who would be the first person I would pick if forced to square off with someone and it would be a very very grave error in judgment. Trained fighters. All of us think that we can size people up as to what kind of physical threat they could possibly pose. And we can't. As they say in boxing, skills pay the bills.

I am happy to report that my last fight was about 40 years ago and I'm happy to have ended my career with that.

Zimm played 12 years in MLB, can't say he wasn't athletic.

However, as a long-frustrated Knicks fan from the era, I'd argue that getting in the middle of a fight between 1990s-era Knicks and Heat players (plus getting punched in the face accidentally by Marcus Camby) means that he's got brass balls.

(According to Wiki, he was also a Division 3 collegiate All-American at point guard, which means he was probably in the top 1/10 of 1% of all basketball players in his prime.)
