By example, the offensive QC the Bengals just hired coached some high school football but was in the private sector (not sure what he was doing there, though, i.e. stats, analysis, medical stuff, etc.). Let's be real - you have to have a working knowledge of football to be a quality control person. Yes, it's entry level. Yes, it's "grunt work." So this has more to do with the fact there is a much shallower pool of qualified female coaches in football than in other sports. You don't just do to do - you do to win. And yes, QC's help the position coaches win (ideally). QC's also tend to have personal relationships with the head coach and/or coordinators. So, combine that with a shallow pool of talent .. it'll take awhile before more qualified women can get these jobs because that means more women have to be working in the college and high school levels.
