Need to Know: Coach Green? He says no

Here is what you need to know on this Tuesday, January 22, 93 days before the NFL draft.

Why Darrell Green won’t coach

I get an occasional inquiry about the possibility of Darrell Green returning to the game to become a Redskins assistant coach. I’m not sure why it comes up but I generally respond by saying that Green likely is not interested in working the schedule that being an NFL coach requires.

I was just guessing that was the case but over the weekend Green himself provided verification. 

Coaching is fun, but I can't do the 12, 14 hour days. I love my wife of 28 years to much for that!

So, until the NFL returns from the days when coaching was more of a 9 to 5 type profession (translation—never) don’t look for Green to pick up a whistle any time soon.
