Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 For a guy who wanted to be home with his family he sure is at practice A LOT. The wife probably got sick of him and told him to go lol. Honestly he should have kept playing and got a Super Bowl ring. Hopefully he coaches some day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yeah but he's there for just a few hours at practice? It's a whole other level once you becomes a full time coach. That 2-3 hour day becomes 12-15. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say When... Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 he's in the perfect situation, contribute when he wants to but not necessarily married to the job. Kick the tires, see if you dig it/are good at it, then discuss details and determine if it's worth it making it a 100% commitment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might pull a Reich and do it after the kids are grown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Would love to see him affiliated with the team, but he sold his house in OP and moved back to Louisiana. Maybe in a year or two.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think he's weaning himself from football and I give kudos to the Bills for letting him do it. It's a win-win for both Kyle and the Bills. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think the reality of not playing anymore may have hit him. I bet he just wants to give back to something that he was such an integral part of. Ha! not too long ago he was a receiving threat! I wish him well and I hope he stays connected to the Bills! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'm sure he will when his kids are older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stosh64 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The man loves football, you can tell its in his DNA. He needs to be around the game. I am grateful he has been sharing his knowledge with our young stud Ed and think it will be invaluable to Oliver's progression. If Kyle shows aptitude for coaching during this time I hope the FO makes him an offer he can't refuse. It would be awesome to see the Meatball on the Bills sideline for the foreseeable future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Honestly, coaching kinda sucks. You work insane hours and people want you fired after a loss. There’s a reason who good players who made good money never do it. You can get paid good money but it’s a crappy lifestyle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a whole other level once you becomes a full time coach. That 2-3 hour day becomes 12-15. RC you are so right. Man, I heard or read about so many stories of guys sleeping at the practice facility, putting in 20 hours a day and doing it for s****y pay. Could Kyle be a little fast tracked? Sure, maybe, but come on the guy has grossed almost 60 million in his career and if he has been smart, which I believe and hope he has, he could possibly be running around with 20 million in the bank (money left, but investments also) and enough to respectively live off of. I know it is not this simple, but even a 2% return gets you $400,000 per year, gross...I've read some place before that $400,000 is a reasonable amount of money to live your life well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 You should go tell him. I'm sure he hasn't thought about it and just needs someone to suggest it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Kyle has earned enough that he should get to do what he wants to do. I highly doubt that includes 80 hour work weeks as an NFL coach. But if it does, more power to him. Maybe a cushy sideline or front office job would suit him though. Get him on camera for the team or make him a player liaison or something if he wants to stay around the team. It’d be nice to continue to see him involved in some way.

That 2-3 hour day turns into sleeping in the office, turning your home bedroom into a film room, stopped petting the dog And drinking , drinking lots of booze to cope with all the people that constantly tell you how much you suck and you should be fired 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already been gone a lot I'm sure that's why he's only doing some part time stuff now. I always saw him as an LSU Dline coach back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
