Quote: Hate to get off "Where are the minorities in soccer" but I wonder if Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, Mike Krzyzewski Bobby Cox have licenses to coach their sports. Coaching licenses to coach soccer, you have got to be kidding me. Is the tests for these coaching licenses a written test or a physical test? Do they charge these coaches a fee for these licenses?
The licensing process involves work in the classroom, coaching sessions while being evaluated by members of the U.S. national staff, and playing. The C license and above are week long residential courses. To suggest that it's simply a written test is ridiculous. Typically, in the B and the A course you have a better chance of failing the course than passing. That is after the roughly $1,000 fee and the 5-6 days of work. Trust me, having a license doesn't automatically make you a good coach but at the higher level they are not just handed out either.
