I guess you can know fundamentals and keep stats and charts and things, but seriously unless they've got something personal to teach, then really, just about anyone who studied the fundamentals underneath a seasoned position coach. I mean, JMO.
Knowing how to fundamentally do something doesn’t always correlate to being able to do it at the highest level. Maybe you’re just not fast enough, strong enough or big enough. That doesn’t mean you can’t teach it. Coaching is also as much about connection as it is about teaching.
You can be the smartest guy in the room and the best to ever play the position, but if you can’t connect with those you teach, forget about it.
