ndirish1978 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Lorax admits to wanting Kyle to come back to the team as a coach to "coach him up" and Kyle says they are "determining his value." I'd love to have this guy back in the building. Lorenzo signed a one-year deal, so I am hoping it happens for this next season. 10
Herc11 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 My guess is this won't happen right away, if it ever does. He's retiring to be able to spend time with his family. I would think that coaching is much more demanding of time than playing. 9
eSJayDee Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 What might make sense is an "intern" type position during training camp. During the season, coaching is probably like a 100 hr/wk job. Not something you take on when you wanna be w/ your family. An intern position would only be for a few weeks & likely wouldn't require as much of a commitment during that time. 4 1
Figster Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Kyle Williams loves the game of football, but knows from a player perspective it was time to retire. From a player perspective...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I mean I'm sure he knows more than Bill Teerlink.

That's what I would guess if he becomes a coach it probably won't be his first year retired from playing but then again you never know.
Aussie Joe Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I think in 2019 the team will improve with new on field players..

eball Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just read the Buffalo News piece on Kyle's week at the Pro Bowl...his comments certainly lead one to believe he is interested in being a part of the organization in some capacity. He's a born leader. You know what I'd like to see? He starts his coaching career in Buffalo as an assistant, rises through the ranks to become DC, and in about 10-12 years after McD retires with his five Lombardi trophies Kyle takes over as HC. 5 3 1
ProcessTruster Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 did his family live in WNY ? that will answer your question. I don't think they did? if they staying in Louisiana (?) , forget about the coaching thing 1
machine gun kelly Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 He’s most likely going to coach his young boys in flag football or something. You just don’t see that many top players going immediately into coaching.

Sure, they visit Louisiana often but I think this is home now. 2

I'm pretty sure in that video the wives do she said that they live in Buff and then after the season is over they move to Louisiana...I remember it cuz I thought it was weird they would send the kids to 2 different schools every year...can't remember how many kids are school age tho, I know his oldest is 12
bigK14094 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Kyle is going back to the farm in Lousiana.....at least for a couple of years, to be with his family. Later maybe, but not now.

The article quoted Kyle, "Ill be back in a couple of weeks for some house related stuff" so sounds like he's already left town. When he retired he commented one of the reasons was so he could spend more time with his kids, think he commented about currently often only being able to watch his kids game s via Facetime. Maybe they use to do that before the kids reached school age, but as stated above would be difficult for the kids to attend two different school systems during the year. As an aside the kids may enjoy that setup as go to school in NY i n the fall where school year starts later, then down south in the spring where the year ends early. My guess is the family is here in western NY though training camp, then wife and kids head south. Kyle likely flies down on their offs days maybe twice a month, a few extra days on their bye week, wife and kids will come north on a couple trips, maybe spend all of Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks here. But in between they're apart. Likely now that the kids are older they are complaining about making the trips north too as missing their own activities. So can't imagine him taking anything close to a full time coaching position at this point other than maybe his kids HS team in a few years.

But I'm sure if they wanted him in a coaching role they would work out a schedule conducive to his family life.
T master Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 That would be Awesome & is a no brainer given his dedication to the game & to the team in his career i think he would be a great asset to any team that had him in their organization in any way but i hope it's the Bills that make it happen !!
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I honestly think he will be a consultant and involved with the Bills (not just a rah-rah guy), but i doubt he would take that much time away from his family to do that right now. He's earned these days. EDIT: Come on. Come on. Come on! KW to Lorax: "I haven't seen anyone my age in awhile." Tremendous. Edited January 25, 2019 by dollars 2 donuts 1
