Before that is was another decade before the guy had an NFL job, I'm sorry if he had anything to offer he'd be offering it and someone would be taking him up on it. If he had no tie here no one would even bring him up, once again people are reaching for anything here. There are other 70+ year old consultants and coaches in the NFL but Sam isn't one. Maybe he doesn't want to do it, maybe he can't, either way it seems moot to even talk about.
He took a gig as an analyst and announcer from 96 (after his last year in Tampa) to 2000, when his voice gave out midway through the game in week 2. He took some time off after having a biopsy on his lymph nodes in his chest result in a severed vocal chord. After a couple years off, he returned to the booth as analyst for Westwood One's Thursday Night Football coverage, and for Fox Sports South covering the SEC, all the while volunteering as Offensive Coordinator at Greenville-Pickens High.....the Bills contacted him. Let's just say he's been active in football pretty much up until his heart transplant. It seems you're reaching for anything to try and discredit the guy without laying out all of the variables to the situation. No one was coaching up Rob Johnson.
