10 NFL coaches that we'd most like to have over for Thanksgiving dinner
Now these would be some great guests.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We hope you’re safely enjoying your football and food and that the family time isn’t being too much of a challenge.
Let’s have some fun and look at the top 10 NFL coaches we’d like to have over for Thanksgiving dinner.
(This post originally ran in 2018.)
10. Sean McVay
He’s probably going to be highly aggressive in the amount of food that he brings to the table and chances are he’ll introduce you to a new side dish that you had never thought of before but is huge with millennials.
9. Pete Carroll
He’ll be highly excitable and happy to be there and happy for you and since he’s the oldest coach in the NFL he’ll probably doze off on the couch pretty early and not bother anyone too much.
8. Matt Patricia
He loves football and studied rocket science so he can get the dinner conversation going a number of different ways. Plus, he always has a pencil on him in case you need to jot something down.
7. Jay Gruden
Because it will be fun to make things awkward between him and his brother by saying things like, “Hey Jay, here’s a hypothetical for you. Would you ever think of trading somebody who’s considered to be the best defensive player in the league right before the season starts?”
6. Kyle Shanahan
Because if it ever becomes too quiet you can ask the former Falcons offensive coordinator, “So why didn’t you guys kick a field goal on that final drive in that Super Bowl a few years ago?” and then reach for a fist bump from Bill Belichick.
5. Bill Belichick
He’s kind of like the perfect guest because he’s not going to say much and when he does he’s not going to dive deep into your personal life, unlike some random family members of yours who like nothing more than to pry into your love life during the holidays.
4. Sean Payton
Because if things get a little crazy in the kitchen and the smoke alarm keeps going off he won’t hesitate to take care of if for you. Just ask the that fire alarm in Cincinnati.
3. Gregg Williams
He’s like that fiery uncle of yours that only gets better as the night goes on because you never know what he’s gonna say or how he’s going to act. A bit of a live wire, this one. Gotta think they’ll be some Friday apologies.
2. Jon Gruden
He’s gonna be overly excited to see you and be a part of the process and if your food stinks he’ll still say it’s great and that he has been getting a lot of calls from people who want to eat your food.
1. Andy Reid
He won’t mind if you’re food hits the table a little later than you thought it would because he understands just how difficult time management can be.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Eat like a defensive tackle today!
