Why? I don't get this. A great athlete doesn't not guarantee a great coach. Could he be, sure, but there isn't necessarily any correlation.

It may be a bit sensationalized but again stripping it down still leaves a lot of questions and really really makes the org and specifically Murphy look incompetent if not downright horrible.

He became an excellent route runner, extremely elusive, had incredible hands and was a student turned expert of the game. If his career was a result of natural talent and physical gifts i would agree with you, but it wasn't. Driver had incredible drive and Learned to excel at these things. This is why he'd be a good coach. Teach what he learned and let his drive infect the room. Our WR group has been nothing since he retired.

They wouldn't just make a move like this without being prepared.
Also I bet they gave Ted this new position to make it look good for all involved. Not just fire him and cut him loose. Especially if it turns out he is sick.
