Football 2.0
Why bother hiring new NFL coaches each year? Save some money and just let the fans calls the plays using the Internet! Dan Snyder should like this. He can just hire some guys on the cheap to run practice, an actor to provide the correct motivation from the sideline (imagine your "coach" being Ed Harris or Denzel Washington), and use the wisdom of the crowd to call the plays. You can also cut out the offensive and defensive coordinators. Think of the profits! You could even charge people to participate.
But seriously, this could be done easily using a meaningless game like the All-Pro game in Hawaii. I realize the coaches want to go for the boondoggle, but who needs them? Just run the service through XBox live or the PS3 or a plain website and use the Madden play book. The fans have got to be better than the Dolphins staff.
