One day after Steelers receiver Hines Ward announced his retirement from the Steelers and the NFL, he received another job offer in football -- as a high school coach. "I got an email from the athletic director, asking if I had any interest," Ward said with a laugh about his first job offer in retirement. "I woke up this morning and it was the first thing I read." The offer came from the prestigious private Westminster School in Atlanta. Ward lives in suburban Atlanta. "I just thought we could open the door and talk to him and see if there was anything there," Westminster athletic director Rusty Hudson said. "If we could figure out a way to get him on our staff, that would be great." Ward, though, is not ready to jump at any offers now and coaching football is not on his radar. He promised whatever he does, his presence will be felt in Pittsburgh, including those Sunday events in the fall at Heinz Field. "I still want to have strong ties in Pittsburgh," Ward said a day after his emotional news conference to formally announce his retirement. "I have charitable things and I still want to be a big part of that. I may not be at every game but you'll definitely see my presence in Pittsburgh. That is home away from home. I can spend time in Atlanta during the week, and whatever opportunity there is for me I'll fly up there." Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Is that where you learned to spell? How many former players on Ward's level have gone on to be great coaches?
It"s a pretty rich neighborhood/private school($), Ward would be paid very well, unlike most teachers! +Parents=unlimited $ Bonuses/Donations too! It would be a sweet job, but he probably wants to be on TV! Best of Luck to Him!
You from the Atl dash? I also heard maybe coaching at UGA. But I think that's pure speculation. And wishfull thinking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
