'Twas a perilous choice, so it goes in the lore,
To hire a former star quarterback, nothing more,
For the role of head coach, in the realm of football,
Oh, the perils one may face, one and all!
Beware the star quarterback, his glory long past,
Once adored on the field, now a coach to forecast,
With prowess in passing and elusive speed,
But coaching prowess, an uncertain seed.
His playing days filled with triumph and fame,
But can he lead a team, build a winning flame?
The skills of a player do not always align,
With the wisdom and strategy of a coach so fine.
He may dazzle with tales of his gridiron feat,
But can he guide a team with tactics so discreet?
To mold the players, their strengths to enhance,
Or will his past triumphs be the sole song and dance?
Beware the allure of the star quarterback's name,
For coaching requires more than mere football acclaim,
Leadership, vision, and tactical might,
A blend of knowledge, strategy, and insight.
Yet many fall victim to this perilous snare,
Hoping the star's magic will linger in the air,
But coaching is a skill that must be honed,
And success cannot be on past glories alone.
So heed this warning, all who seek a coach anew,
Look beyond the fame, search for wisdom true,
For in the realm of football, the perils are stacked,
When hiring a coach 'cus he once quarterbacked.
