As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.
I started out wanting to coach football.
I want to coach high school football, and that's always what I've wanted to do.
Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
You know, I was crap. But I had the commitment, and I had the understanding, that the basis of football is skill on the ball, and if you spend the time with it, you're gonna reap the rewards.
You know, I started this process of being a football player and I'm going to make it to the NFL very soon and I plan on finishing that. And by 'finishing that,' I mean that I'm going to go out and be the best that I can be and put everything forth to make that happen.
I've really gained an appreciation for what coaches do since I returned to the NFL.
Sometimes I miss coaching, but often things are not how they appear in football.
The further I get away from coaching, the more I know I made the right decision. You almost forget how wonderful family life is.
You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.
