True. He can always be a broadcaster.
I had connections in 2015 when Jeff Fisher brought the Rams to practice at Westlake High School before they scrimmaged the Cowboys their last year in St. Louis.
I walked up to Fisher’s dad, Roger, and started chatting him up.
I can’t remember what I asked him, but Roger told me Jeff was working in software sales before he got into coaching and that he would have made a
lot more money doing software sales than being an assistant coach.
Roger, with a bit of satisfaction in his voice, told him to take the coaching job. You can sell software any time down the road. Not everyone gets a chance at coaching. Maybe Fisher never won a Super Bowl as a coach, but he coached in one and came close. How many people can say that?
That’s solid advice to Sean too. He could really put together a lot of amazing seasons at this young age and really write quite the “football life”.
And then he can go be an broadcaster with all that under his belt.
Or, he could face the likely fate of a John Gruden. Take 10 years off thinking you’re still young enough to get back in only to find out the game has passed you by.
