It isn't because women are not as smart as men.  it is simply because there are practically none who are being exposed to high level coaching that teaches them the game on anything even close to the NFL level.

There are lot's of people here (of both sexes) who think they know a lot about football, but the worst coach in the NFL would embarrass all of them in a film session.  I played football at a very small college, but they had great coaches.  That really opened my eyes about how much there really is to know about football.

I have no doubt that the woman the Bills just hired is fully qualified.  She has been working in the NFL since '03.  But she is a rare exception to the rule.

What I said was the following:  "I think someone who is a trained analyst can transfer those skills to the NFL.  There are plenty of women who know about football.  If someone can combine their analyst training with football knowledge and become a quality control coach or analyst, why not?  I think the quality control position is definitely an analyst position."  


You only quoted my words "There are plenty of women who know about football," left everything else out, and you changed the context of what I said.  My point is, a woman who is also a trained analyst can take her analyst training and do what is essentially an analyst position.  They should have football knowledge, but I don't think they have to have the same amount of knowledge as someone who is head coach a football team or coaching a skill position.  The woman hired by the Bills is analyzing special teams.  Her skills as an analyst are the most important thing here.
