I just wanted to get that out there. Regardless of his production on the field he grew as a leader in his time here. Putting aside the trite reasons why he's gone ... I don't think it was trite myself.

Lots of camera shots showing Randy coaching on the sidelines.

got to hand it to him ... even Bill said he has brilliant football intelligence.

So ... a different twist now ... Moss to be a WR coach soon paving the way to be an OC?

Why not I say ... He's probably better than most all WR coaches now.

He's probably on par or smarter than a few OC coaches now.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if as a condition for letting him go Randy agreed to return as a WR coach after he retires?

Sounds insane ... but think about it before you answer. ... it's not so crazy if you consider he may most desire a legacy in lieu of a Super Bowl player ring. Maybe he could get that ring as a coach ???????

I'm skeptical of superstars returning as coaches, because to break in you have to put in pretty crazy hours for no money and zero recognition to get to the point of being a viable candidate for the higher-profile positions. Guys like Singletary are rare, and that's part of why I was skeptical when people were talking about Bruschi and Harrison possibly transitioning into coaching. Along the same vein, I'd be very surprised if Moss pursues that path. I don't doubt that he has the intelligence and work ethic to do it if he wants to, but I just don't think he'd choose to go that route.

No. Players who earn the kind of money these guys get these days seldom have any interest in coaching when their playing days are done. Longer hours, less vacation time, 90% salary reduction, accountability and expectations tied to someone elses performance... And I'm not sure I'd want Randy teaching my WR to play the game his way, thanks. Few are talented enough to stick without a lot more willingness to master the little things and do whatever it takes and put the team first. Coaching is about a lot more than x's and o's these days, too.

Great comments, and I agree.

You work your ass off as a coach, for relatively little money, and even when you win, some nobodies on a message board are criticizing you.

he looks like he really enjoys it .... when the camera pans to him it looks like he has as much adrenaline flowing on the sidelines than he does on the field.

Oh well ... just a thought ... I am impressed when I see him doing it.
He's lecturing and he has everyone's 110% attention ... that's a coach.

Raymond

Yeah. because Randy already practices with the required equipment.

RayClay

You're joking. I like randy, but he's way too emotional. besides, the most talented players make the worst coaches, usually. What he has can't be coached.

I get what you're saying about Randy being on the sidelines, but I think the appeal behind the "coaching" he does now would fade without him having the ability to go out there and do it himself. I think his interest in the Xs and Os complements his career on the field, but it wouldn't stand alone in a coaching position.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

I don't think Randy is interested in coaching. Outside of football and his kids, Randy's great love is for bass fishing. That is what he is going to do when he retires. And he has the money to do just that.

RayClay

I believe he's a pretty good businessman, but i couldn't confirm. He's got a lot of money, so it's hard to tell.
