Quarterbacks coach, I would do at Tennessee. Head coach? Absolutely not.
I know I have the abilities to be a head coach or D-coordinator. It's something I wouldn't mind doing. But it's tough being a player and going back and doing something like that, because egos get in the way.
I've been an assistant for seven years now and I haven't had one head coaching interview. I'm doing something wrong.
For me, it was watching the New York Giants growing up, with Bill Parcells and Lawrence Taylor and that whole crew coming up through the '80s. And then, as I moved on to college, I thought I'd want to coach for sure.
I want to be a general manager, and I want to be a head coach. Definitely both.
I don't want to be a Major League coach.
One day I'd like to show what I can do as a coach in Germany. But I won't bend over backwards for a job in the Bundesliga and lock myself in my house for 24 hours just to win other people's approval.
Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.
The entire world knows what I have with Barcelona and what Barcelona have with Ronald Koeman, so if I could become Barcelona coach one day, I would be delighted.
I know so many players who say they wouldn't entertain coaching, until they retire that is, and then they want to take their coaching badges. I suspect this might happen with David Beckham.
I'd be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left.
What I would say is every assistant coach in the NBA wants to be head coach.
Once that was over, I knew that my ties to a football organization would be over because I never wanted to coach or be in the front office.

I have a really good relationship with Bayern. I might become a coach after retirement, but with the youth teams.
I could stay in Germany and start my coaching career there. I did not want to.
I wanted to become a college coach. I got game films of all the good college coaches - Pete Newell at California, Eddie Donovan with St. Bonaventure, Ken Loeffler at LaSalle.
I've been really fortunate to have coached in some moments that you can only dream about coaching in. The day after, you wake up and you try to do it again.
I didn't want to end my coaching career as an assistant in the NBA.
I've always found myself watching the NBA game more, even when I was coaching college. So I'll probably gravitate toward doing something in the NBA.
I could see myself coaching at the high school level, but I'd really love to coach at UCLA. That would be a dream for me.
I want to coach high school football, and that's always what I've wanted to do.
I never imagined that I would be at a club like Inter, with so much history and success and also as the captain. I can't see myself as a coach, but maybe as a director to give back to the club.
