Probably ordered by Goodell after all the misogynistic behaviour by the owners and players.

I’m surprised the Patriots didn’t hire her to deflate their balls.

If it can work for Pops... She seems to have some pretty solid qualifications. Right now she’s just a training camp coach though, we’ll see if they keep her into the season.

Is it just me, or does this sound like a made-up position with a very definite end date?

NBA already has a female coach.

Spurs make WNBA’s Hammon first female NBA assistant
http://www.nba.com/2014/news/08/05/spurs-becky-hammon.ap/

And the speculation is, she may one day be a head coach.

I think a female NBA coach is much more realistic as women play college and professional basketball. There is not much of a pipeline for female football coaches.

The most likely scenario would be a college coach hiring his daughter as an assistant the way many hire sons and her taking over when the father retires.

Solid qualifications, eh?

As what? How many middle linebacker positions has she held?
How many centers, tackles, or tight ends has she penetrated or blocked out to tackle the ballcarrier?

How many receivers has she tackled?
How many interceptions has she made?
How many blitz plays has she run?

Just one more step before one is playing or head coach. It is ordained.

The only way a woman plays in the NFL would be as a kicker.

Step into the bear cage Ms. Welter. Take few elbows across the jaw and tell me what it is like.

To the detriment of the NFL, she has offered herself as both a physical and litigious target. Fire Goodell, now.
