Tony Gonzalez for Position Coach after he retires?
 

What are the odds? I guess broadcasting would be more lucrative for someone of his charisma and intelligence. But dammit, it would be cool if he was a receiving/TE coach after he's done. The man has the best hands, routes and work-ethic in the NFL. He commands respect and relates well to people. He would be an ideal coach, imo.

He would make 10 times as much for 1/50th the work as an analyst.

Not if Clark opened the checkbook! Seriously, he would probably be worth it; especially if we take some talented receivers out of upcoming drafts.

I think he'll go into media. He likes the attention and he'd be very good at it, in my opinion. At least, you can understand what he's saying unlike some other tight ends who've managed to eke out a career in broadcasting.

ROFL

No chance in hell.

The guy lives in Manhattan Beach eight months out of the year and that's where he'll live full-time when he retires.

If he does anything football-media related after retiring, it'll be as a host of one of the Sunday morning show.

If that.

Agreed. Superstar players dont become coaches. They dont need to.


2nd tier players usually become coaches: Jason Garrett, Herm Edwards, Schottenheimer, etc....

I guarantee this does not happen. I'll find a new team to root for if it does.

Trent Green for QB Coach!!!

PRIEST HOLMES FOR OC!

You can't compare players of the 60's, 70's, 80's or even 90's to the players of today in terms of salary and coaching.

If any of those guys you mentioned had been playing and starting in today's NFL for 8+ years, none would be in coaching.

Ryan Sims for D-Line coach. He was amazing that one time.

I see him releasing another vegan cookbook, living in California with his smokin' hot (for now) "wife" and working with kids and probably becoming active with the democratic party...


...but I still love the guy...

Albert Lewis for DB coach lol

Really???? Did he actually have a tackle for a loss or something in a game? I must have been out of the room when it happened,lol.

This thread reminds me that there's another very sad aspect to this insane walrus ***** called the Chiefs' 2008 season ... with the prospects of turning things around being so bleak (and growing bleaker by the week...er), it's likely that TG will hang it up after this year. Or, he will request a trade. As has been stated on numerous occasions by posters both wise and clockwise, he has no reason to hang around this group of morons any longer than he has to ... especially when things look like they're not going to improve anytime soon.

I wonder how much Kansas City pussy Tony Gonzalez plowed over the last 10 years.

Gonzo has way too much F You money to piss around in coaching.

Now, if it's what he really wanted to do perhaps, but who actually thinks he'd want to do that?

Mr. Fax hush , don't talk about Mush Mouth like that, somebody will call you a RACIST.

I'm not sure I'd want "I coached Kansas City's Tight Ends" on my resume.

He's gonna be set for life. Why would he want to work after football?

To avoid boredom? stay close to the game? I dunno, people have done crazier stuff. BTW, I said as a receivers coach! Hands, route-running and blocking. TG has it covered.

I think less of you for suggesting this possibility.

Ah, he's just a kid living in Montana. He probably doesn't know what it's like to have millions of dollars at his disposal, have a smokin' hot wife, live in one of the nicest beach communities in world and have unlimited possibilities in life.

Most don't.

all he wanted to

Yeah that's great for you and Tony. :)

Run. Mike Singletary is coming to rip your head off.

TG isn't going into sports media coverage.

If anything maybe a celeb role or something on a reality TV show like Dancing with the Stars.

He's gonna take his money......October and disappear into San Diego somewhere.

Him, and a certain coach Ditka.

He lives in Manhattan Beach. There's no need for San Diego.

Tony has probably made 20 times what Singletary did.

I think Dane said it best. I should have said current era superstar players dont become coaches.

They make so much more money than players did 20-30 years ago.

Kevin Ross actually is a DB coach.....

A few players will probably go into coaching, Tony isn't one, just check his personality.

People may laugh, but a guy like Damon Huard would probably make a decent coach.

Claythan-I swear when I signed off Chiefsplanet last night, you were had about as much negative rep as one could receive. what happened within 24 hours?

Tony as analyst during regular season... and nailing Oktober more... I don't see him as a coach in NFL. more helping kids or HS stuff.

A friend of mine has a house a few blocks from TG. The view he has is f'ing sexy. The parties there are pretty wild too. Parking sucks though
