OT: Will Tom Brady coach after his playing career?
In hopes to keep us from going insane upon upcoming signing day I thought I would bring this up.
ESPN ran an interview Tom did with Chris Berman earlier this week in which Berman made reference to Harbaugh being the HC at UM and if Tom was taking the job over after his playing days are done. Tom just laughed it off, but never said he wouldn’t be open to the idea.
Tom Brady is a hyper competitive person very similar to Harbaugh and has a strong love for Michigan. He also has more money than he knows what to do with and a super hot wife who he would probably much rather spend time with than be on the recruiting trail. Does anyone think this could be a possibility down the road? I'll hang up and listen.

Wouldn't surprise

He'll have already made his millions in a routine of long, stressful days of constantly keeping in shape and meticulously studying opponents' game film. No need to make millions more in a more stressful routine where you also must convince 17-18 year olds to come on board and keep 18-22 year olds from doing stupid stuff in their free time.
Now ... I do think he'd be a great ambassador for U of M football. He could be a contact the coaches keep in their back pockets to help convince elite QB prospects to come to M. Or he could run a QB camp at U of M for high school QBs.

Harbaugh is going to earn a statue in five years and you want him gone in favor of a guy who's never coached a down before?

Did I miss the memo where all Michigan fans must view Brady as the second coming and clearly the greatest Michigan man of all time? I am glad the guy has been successful but would not mind if the love fest was held in check at some point.

Brady strikes me as a guy who would be more likely to wind up in the broadcasters chair than the coaches chair.

This, in conjunction with your deleted posts in the other thread, make you one creepy-ass degenerate.

Honestly, the annoying thing about this line of thought is the assumption of what's going to happen. Nobody knows what's going to happen when Tom Brady is 50 years old, and it doesn't really matter at this point. It's outside the realm of this thread, and it's just pointless, somewhat irresponsible conjecture at this point.

I doubt it. The greatest to play usually dont coach because it gives an opportunity to tarnish their legacy. "He was a great player, but wow what an awful coach."
The players that were heartbroken and really close to being great are usually the ones who coach because it gives them the opportunity at redemption. "Man he came so close as a player, but what an amazing coach!"

I think he will spend his post playing days relaxing and eating avocados off of Gisele's ass.

Jim played at a different time with a different salary.
I cant think of too many NFL superstars who are in coaching right now. Guys who retired in the past 10 years. I know Elway is a GM. But its differrent then the old days ith the magnitude of money you make. If you are a NFL star, going to be a position coach and making $200K a year while you spent 4-6 years working your way would seem like a ludicrous way to spend your time.
And no its not all about the money but yes a lot of the time it is all about the money.
More likely to be coaches are guys like Mike Hart would have a drink of water in the NFL, made some scratch and then start from the bottom in coaching. Its a lot easier just to go straight in the booth - easier hours, no stress, everyone (almost) loves you.
If anyone can name guys who made $100M+ in career earnings and are coaching in the NFL in the past 10 years I'd love to hear a list. Maybe I am missing some people. NBA you seem to have a few guys like I. Thomas and Larry Bird who did it but even that was guys from the 80s when the salaries were different. I cant imagine a Tim Duncan coming back and coaching.

I think coaches have mostly been non-superstars throughout history. Chuck Noll, Bill Belichick, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, etc. were not special football players.

Would you want to spend 80 hours a week at minimum coaching when you have a supermodel wife at home? Exactly.
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:22 AM ^
Yeah, real tough choice....
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
but, show me the hottest girl on earth...and I'll show you a guy that's sick of her shit.
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:52 AM ^
You may be right....
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
that's exactly who I was thinking of. He has that at home and he's out banging every chain smoking Perkins waitress he can get his hands on.

I honestly think he is going into politics down the road. I am struck how little advertisements he does and it makes me wonder if he is doing that to not upset some constituency down the road. You see goofy looking Manning in a commerical for everything on earth (granted Manning is a funny guy in a dry way) while Brady who is GQ is barely in anything.
I also cant imagine Giselle living in Green Bay or Cincinnati or wherever when Brady works his way up the coaching tree.
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:31 AM ^
but I just don't see him dealing with all the BS that goes on in politics or even coaching at the college level either. I could see him as a pro QB coach for a while, then as a fashion designer in a business he forms with Gisele.
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:26 AM ^
know what he does? jack shit. same as joe montana.
Might open up some steak joints or something to play around with in his free time, but if you're the best ever, why would you come back and announce or pander to HS kids.
Those of you saying he'll coach at Michigan are pounding the M kool-aid.
February 3rd, 2015 at 10:46 AM ^
I'd say they're pounding their own junk if they're fantasizing about Brady coaching anywhere, especially at Michigan. He's made for the TV analyst's booth, if he wants to go that route.
