Jason Kelce confirms he will not be returning to the NFL as a coach in the 2024 season as he continues to enjoy retired life, although the ex-Philadelphia Eagles center admitted he is open to the idea.
The 37-year-old Super Bowl champion stepped back from professional football at the end of the 2023/24 season and now serves as a pundit/analyst as well as spending more time with his wife and children.
Travis Kelce would definitely not be part of the Trump Dance mania in the NFL and Taylor Swift is a big reason
And for now, it seems as though the man from Cleveland is quite happy to enjoy those moments as he revealed that NFL coaching would simply take too much time away, time he just got back after stepping away from his 12-year career as a player.
“I would love to coach,” Kelce told The Golfer’s Journal. “The problem with coaching is the time, huge time commitment.
“If you want to be great at coaching, you can only coach, and it takes away, especially if you want to do it at the NFL level.”
Kelce counts out college football
The six-time First Team All-Pro already has a demanding schedule full of guest appearances, the podcast he shares with his brother and his job working for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown show.
Whilst at home, he’s a father to three daughters and husband to Kylie McDevitt as well as being involved with the rest of his family such as his parents, brother Travis and even Taylor Swift, who is dating the Kansas City Chiefs star.
So to get some experience, could he turn to college football in the NCAA? To partner up with the Ohio State Buckeyes, perhaps? Or even one of Philadelphia’s nine college football teams? Forget about it, is the message from the veteran center.
“Potentially could do that in the future at the high school level,” Kelce added of coaching options. “Definitely a different time commitment there.
“I want nothing to do with college. College is like, first of all, it’s the highest time commitment.”
