Football Coaching Question

kcgizmo · 01-16-2021, 01:43 PM

Heard something the other day concerning Alex Smith. Talking about he would be better off going into coaching. So here is the question, if a team is wanting him for a quarterback coach, and him having two years left on his contract, could a team offer him the position or would it be consider tampering?

I'm sure if he told the WFT he was retiring to pursue a coaching career, they would be cool with it. Hell, they may even offer him a job.

Thanks, and very true.

It would be pretty crazy if Alex became the QB coach eventually replacement for Andy.

Good idea.

Alex Smith has earned $189 million during his career so I seriously doubt he wants to work 12-14 hours per day to make $500k tops while leaving his wife and children at home.

Depends on his aspirations.

But I'd say that an analyst role or the like would be more likely.

Deion Sanders is coaching HBCU football. Never know what someone might get into after their playing career ends.

Sanders' children are of legal age while Smith's aren't even close.

Sanders hasn't been married since 2013, so as a single guy with no children "at home", his life is completely different than that of Smith's.

Also, Sanders earned $33 million in his 14 year career, which is quite different than earning $189 million over the same number of years.

Smith has played for a dozen offensive coordinators. He has more offensive knowledge than any coordinator in the league. I'm sure Andy Reid would talk him into it and I'd take him on the Chiefs coaching staff anytime.

So, let me get this straight: If you had earned $189 million in your career and was married to a HOT AF wife while raising two children, you'd ignore them to focus on your coaching career?

I guess if Alex doesn't mind giving up half of everything, he would go into coaching.

Otherwise, it's politics or the booth for him and maybe, none of the above.

So...you have Alex Smith's future life all planned out for him ? Some people just miss the game.

You never know what drives a person. Many of us thought Alex should have retired after his leg injury nearly cost him his life. Yet there he was this season, starting at QB for WFT.

As for TV, I don't think Alex would make a good color commentator. Yes, he's very knowledgeable but have you ever heard him talk? He's boring.

Please provide a list of NFL football players that have earned in excess of $100 million dollars that became NFL coaches after their playing days were complete.

Thanks in advance.

I think Urban Meyer may try to reach out to Alex Smith if he retires regarding a role on his coaching staff in Jacksonville.
