How does Heath Farwell only get two votes for most likely to be a coach, when he is the NFL equivalent of a graduate assistant this year?
I think Thomas would be a terrific head coach someday. It isn't just about understanding the game. It is about understanding the qualities required to win. Dedication, work ethic, accountability, motivation, attention to detail.....Thomas has all of these in spades. He would demand no less than what he demands of himself. In that regard, the bar would be set incredibly high.
His only professional head coach, Pete Carroll, has stressed the importance of protecting the team, helping others to get better, treating people with dignity and respect, and having fun while doing it. A great, great influence on the young man.
I could definitely envision Earl Thomas III as not only a future head coach, but a very successful one as well.
