I just asked Chat GPT, "Do you think could be a good Defensive Coordinator?"

Reply: "I could certainly analyze game strategies & stats to help devise effective defensive strategies, but without real-world experience in coaching or playing football, I might lack the practical insight & intuition that seasoned coaches possess"

Might not have the practical insight that a seasoned coach possesses, but how well can it recruit, can it do a deep dive into the rosters of bad FCS programs and find some hidden talent buried and trying to break into their 2-deep?
