In this paper we respond to Pathways Commission's recommendation that we integrate more practitioners into the accounting faculty. We use the NFL's replacement referee debacle as an analog and draw from this six lessons for the academy. We suggest that the notion of increasing practitioner representation on accounting faculties may not solve the problems we face and may result in unintended consequences. We then propose an alternate analog, that of the football coach, and draw some helpful lessons for a different approach to the problem.
