Retired life has been a blessing for Jason Kelce. Make no mistake, he was a happy-go-lucky guy on the field, but his playful personality is even more evident now. But there’s more to that. We are seeing the future Hall of Famer with an analytical lens while he’s at his broadcasting job at ESPN and we’re wondering if there’s more to where that came from.

Speaking of being analytical, being a coach requires a perceptiveness for the sport. Thus, the former Philadelphia Eagles star might consider putting more than a decade’s worth of knowledge to good use by molding young men for the future. But these aren’t just any young men. These are high school kids who need guidance on how to make it big. Kelce appeared in The Golfer’s Journal and talked about just that.

Jason Kelce wants to give coaching a shot

The show’s host was keen to understand whether Kelce has future coaching plans. The former Eagles veteran knows that it’s a tedious, time-consuming job and his busy schedule would not allow for it. However, he was open to the possibility of coaching teams in the distant future. Not now, anyway!

“I would love to coach. 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. Potentially could do that in the future at the high school level. 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,” Kelce stated.

He further pointed out that if he became a college coach, he would have to worry about recruiting and the NIL stuff, which is not his cup of tea. Kelce would rather have the “gratification of helping form young men” while saving enough time to be with his friends and family. Needless to say, his media gig with ESPN will also be a deciding factor in taking a coaching job.

In a way, coaching in the NFL and coaching high school students has a factor of “gratification” attached to it, and Kelce would like to feel some of that appreciation. To Kelce, the state of college football is “in a very weird state right now that I probably would avoid.” Right now, Jason Kelce is focused on breaking records. No, they are not football records, but something completely different.

Jason Kelce is a famous artist now

Talk about switching careers, eh? Kelce teamed up with Stevie Nicks, the singer of an iconic band, Fleetwood Mac, to cover Ron S–smith’s song “Maybe This Christmas.” But putting out Christmas albums has been a tradition for the former Eagles lineman. He’s already done with Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson in the past. But this time, he took it to New Heights (get it?).

Kelce and Nicks sing words of compassion “Maybe this Christmas will mean something more / Maybe this year love will appear deeper than ever before,” Kelce sings. That’s when Stevie Nicks chimes in, “And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call / Someone we love, someone we’ve lost / for reasons we can’t quite recall.”

The 7x Pro Bowler absolutely loved working with the “Dreams” singer. So, go ahead, take another guess as to why Kelce doesn’t have enough time to take up a coaching gig. Maybe somewhere down the line, he’ll take up this side quest.
