I'm sure we could find a role for him somewhere in the future.

I’d love to see it.
If he can teach football as well as provide guidance I think he’d be invaluable.

He’s an icon. Recruits would flock to play for him

Who wouldn’t want a secondary of TM7s? Plus the dude could pull all the NOLA talent by himself.

That would be really cool if he did.

Do superstars ever come back and coach though? Seems most coaches were average players at best

It because the greats don’t usually need the money, and the hours required to be a coach at the elite level are very demanding. When a player has retired and put the time in, he wants to enjoy his free time, family, and money.

Deion. Singletary.

But for the most part you are right.

Considering his effort level- practice & games - AND the bumps on the road on the way to what is a long and fruitful NFL career AND he's always been a good communicator (giving and receiving) he damn sure should be on LSU's staff... some day.

Athletes at LSU's level (all of them) have all sorts of issues. Some are the same as every student such as homesickness or adjusting to being on their own. Then add the workload problem (school and athletics simultaneously is frigging tough) and then add the celebrity aspect of it (for lack of a better term) and you find that coaching is as much life guidance at the college level as much as anything.

He'll be a relatable expert at such. Mistakes/failures make great techers.

Whenever Coach Raymond hangs them up, the DBs are all yours

He’ll have too much money in the bank to bother with the grind of college coaching.

I love TM7, but being a great NFL player doesn’t necessarily translate to being a great coach. Don’t get me wrong, I’d want nothing more than for him to be around the program on a day to day basis because he would be vital to helping the players who may be going through issues and just from a leadership standpoint. Just with the grind and recruiting that goes into being a college coach, it may just not be feasible. He will succeed at whatever he does once he hangs up the cleats.

He doesn’t even have to be a good coach. Just his presence and legendary status is huge for LSU.

Magic coached for 16 games and was 5-11. Ewing has been pretty mediocre as a coach.

Being a college football assistant is comparing apples to oranges with a basketball coach.

He'll retire and manage his weed farm.
