With this NFL season at the midway point, many games have gone by with weird ineffective head coaches. The coaching this year led to many losses to their teams, including Josh McDaniels, Kliff Kingsbury, and Brandon Staley. Pundits called these coaching gurus in past positions, especially with Josh McDaniels and his offenses back in New England. The concept of an NFL coaching guru today is silly, with the results failing the teams and coaches. A significant reason why the idea is a failure is that their game planning usually fails in today’s NFL games. Their tactics fail and cost teams their games, alienating players. The NFL, in general, is evolving with new minds but could be proven as a fraud.
A Fake Offensive NFL Coaching Guru
In today’s NFL, the offensive guru minds in the games will use motivations and tactics to improve the offense. The logic for one of these gurus is proven to be with errors in Josh McDaniels. McDaniels was an offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots and was a potential head coaching candidate for years. Football pundits hail Josh McDaniels as a genius for his time as a coordinator with the Patriots. This resume with the Patriots and helping Tom Brady to Mac Jones got his head coaching job with the Raiders. Josh Mcdaniels current tenure in Las Vegas is a complete disaster, with a 2-7 record. Losing to Jeff Saturday in his first game is rock bottom for Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels first failure
The Las Vegas Raiders offense with Josh McDaniels is a disaster, ranked 17th in the league. The offensive game planning for McDaniels relies on tight ends and slot receivers instead of Devante Adams and Josh Jacobs. The loss to the Colts should show that Josh McDaniels is a hack and should be gone immediately. Las Vegas will stay with him after this season, even with this season being a disaster. His past tenure with the Denver Broncos was also a disaster, with the team winning after they fired him. Josh McDaniels, throughout his head coaching career, shows he doesn’t know how to run a team. In his career, McDaniels had success in coordinating but fails in running everything else.
Kliff Kingsbury went 3-22 vs ranked teams and 4-31 vs Big 12 teams with a winning record. And is now a head coach in the NFL. Give that man’s agent a raise!!!

The Arizona Offensive NFL Guru
Another offensive NFL coaching guru is Kliff Kingsbury and his air raid offense. The air raid offense can produce some great plays but needs elite wide receivers to make it work. The concept of air raid offenses also requires a great arm which is why Kyler Murray is on the team. Kyler Murray, while having some success in the league, is regressing due to bad playcalling from Kingsbury this year. Along with the air raid offense not working, Kingsbury teams collapsed during the season. Kingsbury, during this NFL season, has considered “giving up playcalling” to help the Cardinals. The press praised Kingsbury for his offensive mindset, but when it comes to playing, it fails most of the time.
The Defensive Expert
Another guru in the NFL is the defensive head coach Brandon Staley for the LA Chargers. Brandon Staley had a tremendous tenure with the LA Rams, with his defenses as the coordinator with the Rams. These defenses led to the Chargers hiring him, and the results are not the same. The Chargers, in the last two years, have been inconsistent and, at times, bad under Brandon Staley’s defenses. Staley’s defenses have been awful for the Chargers and have cost them many games. Along with the bad defenses from Staley is overthinking games at the worst time and dependence on analytics. A critical example of this is last year with calling a timeout in the last game, costing them the season.
NFL False Gurus
The NFL, in general, is evolving with new minds but could be proven as frauds. Josh McDaniels as a head coach is not a good decision, with the Raiders suffering in 2022. Kliff Kingsbury, throughout his career, is not a good head coach, and his scheming is a disaster for the Cardinals. The last of these gurus is Brandon Staley, who has shown in two years is a hack with poor defenses. The NFL coaching guru is a silly concept because their scheming and other ideas can be good but can’t execute properly. These gurus are seeing that the NFL world is brutal, and if you can’t adapt, it will eat you alive.
