While interest is likely, it’s no guarantee Rivers takes an interview.
One of the smartest QBs around, Rivers is already a successful high school coach, building the program at St. Michael Catholic in Fairhope, Ala., and twice leading them to the state semifinals. Could he turn that into an NFL job?
Rivers was a feel-good story this year, even though he went 0-3 as a starter for the Colts. His return also introduced him to an entirely new generation of players and reestablished some of his NFL connections.
The belief is he could bring in a strong staff, based on his relationships.
On the Up & Adams Show this week, Rivers was asked about a potential career in broadcasting, and he made an interesting reference.
“I’ve not ruled it out,” Rivers said. “But every opportunity that’s been close to coming or has come up just hasn’t felt right. … The one thing I’ve loved since I was however old playing this game and being now as a coach is I’ve been able to have some impact on the score. You might be good at it, talking about it, but I have nothing to do with the outcome of this game.”
Becoming head coach would be a good way to impact the outcome of a game.
