“I See Vick, I See Coach Prime”: Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson Decode Tyreek Hill’s Tweet On Future Coaching Job

Tyreek Hill shocked everyone when he tweeted, “It’s time for me to go coach”. With the way the season is going for the Miami Dolphins, many assumed it meant that he wanted to leave the squad. The missing punctuation, clearly conveyed the wrong meaning. Hill quickly clarified that he was merely expressing his desire to become a coach. But Shannon Sharpe doesn’t think Cheetah will make a good one.

“Everybody ain’t cut out for coaching,” Sharpe stated on Nightcap, after sharing Hill’s explanation. He added that all Hill was hinting at was a transition into coaching, much like how Michael Vick and Deion Sanders did.

“I mean I could see how people would think like it’s time for me to go coach. So he was saying its time for me to go, coach in the literal sense. I need to be a coach. I see Vick, I see [Coach] Prime. I see others doing it. I want to do that also,” said Shannon.

Building on his co-host’s remark, Chad Johnson emphasized that transitioning into coaching after retirement requires a deep, almost obsessive love for the game. It demands traits like patience and the ability to accept that things won’t always go your way. Ocho admitted he never had what it takes to pursue a career in coaching.

“I love Vick, I love Prime, Eddie George. I love them, boys. But to play a game all my life and understand what it took to get where I did and then retire and go back into that, you have to have a love and passion for the game and coaching and patience,” said Johnson.

It’s hard to picture Hill transitioning into coaching at this stage. Especially since he still has plenty of years left in the tank.

Ocho believes Hill’s sudden interest in coaching stems from his struggles this season. The Cheetah is yet to surpass the 1,000-yard mark, currently sitting at 805 yards and five touchdowns.
