Hines Ward To Be Georgia Asst. Coach?

Recently retired Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward was in Athens because he wanted to spend some time with his friend and former teammate, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, to see what coaching was like. Bobbo said...

“He’s just trying to see if that’s something he wants to go into,” said Bobo. “He’s going to spend some time over here, a couple of days to see what all we do. Not just out there in practice, but to see, hey, what do you do out there in recruiting, kind of see if that’s something he wants to do, kind of like when coaches come and visit.”

Ward created a stir when he told Atlanta’s WXIA-TV earlier this year that he teases Georgia coach Mark Richt about wanting to join his coaching staff. Ward said...

“If he wants to hire me, hire me,” “That would be my ultimate dream job to come back and coach at the University of Georgia."

I think it's awesome when these players return to their schools and feed that hunger they still have to play by giving back and not trying to make comebacks to the NFL.
