I was referring to the Steeler’s hindsight. Trade then pick up off waivers is a good trade for them.Except I said it at the he got traded on here I think. The only reason they chose to keep the Oklahoma State guy over him is that he was a higher draft choice. They seemed to pay no attention to the fact that Dobbs, in limited action, always got good results. Sorry, can't think of the name of the guy they kept instead.
I could. His first few years in the NFL he was with the Chiefs with Andy Reid as his head coach. I am sure Bray has studied countless hours worth of film and has experiences studying and breaking down defenses in the NFL. Often career backups make good coaches. Gary Kubiak, Frank Reich and Jason Garrett come to mind. I am sure Bray has also matured since his days at Tennessee. Which is probably another reason he has managed to stay in the league for so long.Can't see Bray as a coach. He can't even hit a dumpster with a bottle without a Toyota tipping it.
NFL pension isn't that good at all, especially compared to baseball. But compared to regular people, its better than nothing (55K-ish tops a year). Their 401(k) plan is sick, with 200% employee matching or something nuts like that.Not the largest $ signing bonuses or contracts, but the pensions will be sweet for them.
Not to mention the doors they may get open for them in terms of TV and coaching. Its not top notch NFL money but it does have a few perks.
Im sure he could get into coaching. Isnt he a rocket scientist or something like that??I stated in another thread about his being able to get into coaching. I would not be surprised to see him evolve into a coaching position with Pittsburgh. Their personality and organization's history just seem to me to point toward him being with them for a long time if he chooses to go the coaching route.
Let's face the facts. He's never going to be a starter. He hasn't even been no. 2. He wasn't the backup in Pitt nor in Jacksonville. His role will be with the clipboard and as a player coachI think for the Steelers to want him back says a lot about Dobbs. Not sure he will ever be a starter, but a very good solid backup.
