Sharper was extremely talented. You can't teach talent.

Most of the time the best teachers are the guys who didn't have phenominal talent, but overachieved by utilizing their talents to the fullest.

Sharper may become a good teacher since his mental awareness of the game was so sharp. The question is can he transfer that knowledge to a player with different skill sets or who thinks differently than Darren does.

Art Shell, Mike Singletary, Jim Zorn comes to mind...

...though Shell was stuck with Al Davis and Zorn coached for Dan Snyder...
