I was asked by our head coach (Ray Perkins) - who was also my college coach - if I would consider retiring and start coaching in the spring," Shula recalled. "I said, ‘I kind of really still want to play,' and he said, ‘Mike, you're the third quarterback on our team and we're only keeping two, so you do the math.' It took me about a week to figure the math out, and then I decided. I knew I wanted to coach at some point and I was so lucky to have an opportunity to coach in the NFL at 22 years old.

Where I'm from this is called giving up.

meh...it's called taking advantage of new doors being opened up when old ones close (after you've realized that the door is closing).

if you can only envision one path in life and rule out any other path, then most likely you are going to spend your life frustrated. people become the most successful when they are able to move on from one situation that didn't work out to another where they can be successful.

fwiw...the paragraph ahead of it

Shula went on to earn a scholarship to the University of Alabama and started at quarterback for four seasons, earning all-Southeastern Conference honors twice. The Buccaneers selected him in the 12th round of the 1987 NFL Draft - after taking Vinny Testaverde with the No. 1 overall pick - but within a year, Shula was coaching Testaverde rather than competing against him.

doesn't take a genius to figure out that one. you get drafted in the 12th round, are the 3rd QB on a team thats only going to keep 2 but the coach wants you, a rookie, to become a coach? you can either go wondering around the league for years begging for an opportunity to prove yourself, or take advantage of another way to prove yourself and stick with the game you love. how many people that young get asked to coach on the pro level? that in itself is a huge deal.

I'll be glad to start seeing the staff in our own colors instead of the ones they used to wear.

Shula discusses QB Reads

[bleys]

FFS, I'm sure a psychologist would salivate over some of the minds in this forum and where they come up with their bullshit..

I know I'm intrigued.. creating ideas from thin air must be a fine art.

I'm not going to lie, I chuckled at "...and these are the bad guys."
