Pike had a brief NFL career and has no coaching experience at any level. Rapien has played 0 football in his life. 

Again, I'm done with Taylor, and pretty much the entire front office but it'd be funny to watch anyone on this board try to coach a football team that wasn't pee-wee or high school level.

I'd put my life savings on the table and bet i could adjust, real time, better than Taylor. 

I'm willing to admit that most don't know the hours and the thought that goes into making a gameplan week to week, not knowing what the other team is going to do, or what will really be effective against them on that Sunday--and that's after all the work that needs to be done choosing your scheme and designing your plays and figuring who is available to play and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Most everyone runs the same basic stuff, with little tweaks to fit what they want. I also know it's super easy to call design and plays with hindsight. 

But put me on the sideline and let me make decisions as it's happening and you better believe i'll do better than him. I've coached various sports over the years (and that doesn't come anywhere close to comparing to professional sports) and i know how easy it is to get blinders on and how fast things move and the game goes by live. It takes experience, even in coaching, before that stuff starts to slow down and you can see the bigger picture and not just the next play. 

Belichick, Arians, Reid, Harbaughs. I wouldn't even being to think i could compete with that. I'd be embarrassed right out of the stadium. But Zac, right now...?  MMhMM
