Larry David loves golf. This we know. As evidenced by his interview with David Feherty, his skewering of Jordan Spieth’s hairline, and the time he wrote a golf column for The New Yorker, golf is a game that Larry David has already accepted he’ll never conquer. And that’s fair.
But yesterday, he went on The Dan Patrick Show and explained to everyone why he legitimately thinks he could be the Offensive Coordinator for the New York Jets. After he does some typical old man complaining about Ryan Fitzpatrick’s beard, McLovin’ asks him if he really thinks he could be an OC. Starting at 1:28, LD explains why it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Listen, we’ve all been there. I, personally, think every coach for my favorite professional teams are all complete puppets. I can call when we’re running a screen, I can know when to blitz, and I can make a gameplan that will establish the run. But listen, the second I (or Larry David) got on the sideline with our clipboard full of plays, we’d shit our khakis and get laughed out of the stadium.
For the sake of entertainment, though, I’d rather have Larry David running around the sidelines calling plays than anyone I’ve currently got in charge. It’s not like the Lions are going to win a Super Bowl anyway. .

I’m a Jets fan and I wouldn’t say no to Larry David for a season
I’m excited just thinking about a blooper real set to the “Curb” intro / outro music.
Gotta say, as evidenced by drives me crazy. “As demonstrated by” is far classier sounding, trust me. You don’t evidence something. Sounds horrible.
Gotta wonder – how many Jewish coaches in the NFL? How many Jewish players? Owners…now that is another story. You’ve got Selig, Bettman, and Silver running three of the biggest sports, but I bet there aren’t more than three Jewish guys playing or coaching in those three leagues.
I don’t really care, lots of Jewish friends and my lineage is very likely Jewish from way back, but Jews tend to play sports for fun/exercise and instead become doctors, lawyers and academics.
Everyone is now dumber for having read that. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Amare Stoudamire, Julian Edelman, Ryan Braun and Sandy Koufax would like to have a word with you.
