    NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    i was hoping hed have some interest in coaching. the way he played, you could see he was a student of the game his field vision was amazing. it was like playing a game of madden and being able to make the split second decisions at the right time. which means he'd be the ultimate RB coach as far as blitz recognition, line movement cut back lanes etc etc.

    even if he doesnt have the title coach I hope he continues whispering tidbits in our RB's ears on the sidelines week in and out.

    When you hear Curtis say the Jets feel like a family to him, you realise what a special athlete this is. The class of this guy will rub off on whatever he chooses to do next and I hope that he will be involved with the Jets at some level so the team can continue to benefit from his influence.

    I can totally see him becoming the RB coach. Both him and Mangini have the utmost respect for each other.

    Curtis will be a guy that the Jets bring in from time to time to talk to players about what it takes to play at a high level in the NFL (hard work, fortitude and the willingness to fight through injuries.) They'll keep him on the payroll as a consultant and have him address the team from time to time, which will mesh nicely with his next role - working with urban youth in crisis.

    I think he's also going to wind up in politics at some point in Pittsburgh.

    I am already pumped for the Curtis Martin halftime tribute.
