A Coaching Career in the Cards for Bruschi?

New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi is in the last year of his contract for the team he’s played with since joining the NFL in 1996, but that doesn’t mean the football dream is ending for this 36-year-old superstar. Bruschi has been mum when asked about his plans for after next year, saying he’s taking it one season at a time, but the 14-year Patriots linebacker has now revealed what may be in the works after he retires from the league: coaching. An obvious transition from playing, Bruschi has entertained the thought of coaching football after retirement, saying, “I know I can coach. I know the game. I’ve been in it so long. It’s just going to be a matter of what I do when I’m done. It’s a passion of mine. I know I love football. I know I want to be in it. Let’s just see what I’ll be doing.”

Perhaps as a precursor to what’s to come, Bruschi set up a youth football camp earlier this week, hosting his second Kids Football Clinic at Gillette Stadium on June 30. The camp was for children ages seven to 14 in the Foxborough area and featured help from Pats linebacker Jerod Mayo, tight end David Thomas, safety Ray Ventrone and kicker Stephen Gostkowski, with former QB Scott Zolak also helping out with instructing.
