“I Hope”: Days After Aaron Rodgers Said No to Coaching Post-Retirement, Fans Have a Special Wish for the 39YO Legend

Even before his retirement, Aaron Rodgers had his plans firmly in place. Since his trade to the Jets from the Green Bay Packers, fans have showered him with affection during his time with the Jets, and the Big Apple city has warmly embraced him. Bolstered by this support from the outset, Rodgers has already expressed his contentment with his new city on his favorite show, ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’

Yet, alongside the positive reception, speculation has been rife that the 39-year-old is nearing retirement. Many pondered what A-Rod’s post-retirement plans would be. However, just a few days ago, New York Jets new QB Rodgers decisively dispelled one speculation and clarified his stance.

Is Rodgers choosing to coach post-retirement?

The Jets quarterback made it clear on Tuesday that he doesn’t intend to follow the paths of former NFL stars like Philip Rivers and Deion Sanders, who turned to coaching high school and college football after retiring from playing. He’s also not eyeing an NFL coaching role. Aaron Rodgers stated, “Listen, there’s not a lot of players who turned into great coaches. I think there’s some reasons for that. But I’ve given a lot to this game. This game has given me a lot. And I think when I’m done, I’m gonna be done.”

Given Rodgers’ leadership skills and football knowledge, it was a natural question to ask by the reporters. His teammates and coaches continuously highlight his influence at 1 Jets Drive, and they hold him in high regard. Their camaraderie is evident, showcased by the recent release of Mic’d Up moments from the Jets-Buccaneers joint practice on the Jets’ official YouTube page.
