Oh Johnny Football, will
we ever see you don a professional football uniform ever again?
In July Manziel said he
is taking things seriously and wants to get back in to the NFL. He said he has
cut out is partying and was working out with the intent of playing in the
2017-18 NFL season. He re-hired his former agent Erik Burkardt and Manziel said
that multiple NFL teams were seriously talking to him about coming back to
the league.
As expected, no NFL team
has talked to him and if they did, they are not admitting it. The only
team that has talked to him is the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats who had him in
their facility last week for a work-out.
It didn’t go well with
the statement “Too many red flags” being tossed around the news outlets.
According to sources within Hamilton’s front office, Manziel had trouble
passing the physical and medical tests, he was not in playing shape and
the team didn’t feel his off-field regiment was consistent with someone who
wants to play professional football.
Money Manziel has
already spread the news that if he doesn’t make it back in to professional
football he wants to coach college football. I don’t think he has
the demeanor to be a consistent and capable coach and I find it hard to believe
that any reputable college would bring him on because he is a huge liability
and the media circus that will follow him will be disruptive. Sure, I can see
Texas A&M bringing him on as a consultant and pay him $100k to show up at
alumni events to sign autographs or a D-III team bring him on to be a QB coach but I think even his coaching aspirations are a bit far fetched.
too immature for a coaching position! I choked when I read this. J.F. is a liability to any team crazy enough to hire him.
ReplyDeleteIs he going to teach them how to break NCAA rules and get paid to sign his autograph, beat up women and abuse drugs?
