He doesn't need the job so he does other things with his time. Talking head is a lousy job unless you're one of the very few recognized as the best.
Mine as well. I was real sad when the whole Favre episode went down. I get it's a business and money/winning is the bottom line, but it definitely hurt to watch him go. Glad to see he's not fading into the background, and LOVE to see he's (if only slightly) still involved with the organization.
It was a terrible move for the 2008 season that cost us a div title in 2008 BUT long term it worked iout b/c w/o Favre costing us '08 we never fire Mangini, hire Rex and draft sanchez. I hated the move at the time but it worked out.
Forget about football coach, Chad with his pedigree, intelligence and demeanor could probably be the next former pro athlete that becomes a politician of some sort. We're talking about an extremely bright guy who's proven his ability to be a leader of men.
It also helps he was in Schitt's system too, he knows how to compare the two and the transition involved. Pennington is a class act.
That's why I think so many Jets fans loved him. Despite the weak arm, you could always count on him to limit turnovers, execute plays well and always say the right thing. Between him, Curtis and Chrebet, the offense was brimming with class in the early 2000s.
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/08...s-jets-camp-offers-insight-and-sends-message/ Says Chad is FULLY INVESTED in Mark Sanchez. That's ALL the news I needed to hear. SUPA BOLE
I never enjoyed a Jets loss more than I did in 2002 vs. the Chiefs. It was a special day. I was so pumped up.
This makes me feel really good about the future of our QB. He wants to see this thing through, not just a summer training in the playbook. Pennington should really be the QB Coach - maybe in a season or two. I can only imagine how much Chad taught Mark about reading defenses and making progressions!
Three things we learned: Day 20 3. Hanging with Chad. Chad Pennington has every reason to be ticked off at the Jets. After all, they kicked him to the curb in 2008 as soon as they got their "yes" from Brett Favre. But on Tuesday, the former Jets QB showed up to lend a hand to his former team, watching practice and attending QB meetings. "No hard feelings," he told reporters. No doubt, he came to help out Tony Sparano, who gave him a chance to re-start his career in Miami, but Pennington was able to put the past behind him. He always was a team guy. It's too bad they couldn't hire him as a coach, but Pennington made it clear he's not interested in coaching on the NFL level.
