Johnny Manziel still wants to return to the NFL, but he’s starting to consider some alternatives in case that doesn’t come to fruition. The former Browns quarterback would like to coach, “probably” at the college level.
“I’d do something involved with sports. I can’t get away from it,” Manziel said (via ESPN.com). “I’ve had to ask myself that a little bit as of late over the past year, but at the same time I’d want to be involved in sports in some way, whether it’s coaching, whether it’s doing something like that. So I think that’d be my route.”
Manziel, 24, has no formal coaching experience, though he did serve as a coach at an Elite 11 quarterback camp in February. Despite all of his star power, Manziel’s bad behavior over the years might make it hard for him to get a foot in the door in the coaching world.
At the same time, it doesn’t appear that he has any real interest from NFL teams. The Cowboys did not give any thought to signing Manziel when mulling quarterback options in July and we haven’t gotten a whiff of any concrete interest in the QB since his Super Bowl week meeting with Saints coach Sean Payton. Meanwhile, Manziel personally said that he has only had “a couple of discussions” with teams about a potential return.
I would think he’s the last person who should be coaching anybody.
johnny jamboogie pre gaming in the parking lot with the fans before the games then pops a snickers and coaches them to a 45 point blowout
It’s time to paaaaartyyyyyyy
And the team he coaches will lose every game.
Yea because everyone wants him to coach. “Alright guys, big game tomorrow 8 beer max tonight”
Maybe some pop warner team could use him.
Yeah I’d trust him coaching little kids.
Keep dreaming buddyyyy
Some no name college would take him draw in fans
Suck it up and go to the CFL. He would rule there like Flutie and Moon did and then NFL teams would call. WHOS ADVISING THIS GUY ???
If he is truly turning his life around then y can’t he coach? Starting at a small college and getting results would probably b the first step.
Doubt that’s a good atmosphere for him to be around if he’s really trying to turn his life around. Like getting an alcoholic a job at a bar.
Sorry for the typo, Johnny is pondering a couching career!
NY Mets just signed him….
