What current NFL veteran or team captain would make a good assistant coach, coordinator, or head coach?

I'm talking NFL veterans, guys in the league for a long time. Would they make good coaches?

    Peyton Manning. He knows the inner workings of the offense as well as the numerous and complex defensive schemes designed to slow the opposing teams down. Peyton Manning knows how to counter this and can teach a QB that is willing to learn to do the same. His huge success in the NFL as a QB is attributed to this ability to be an "on the field coach". All I know is that when he retires, there will be numerous teams calling to hire Manning as a coach and rightfully so.

    No, it hasn't driven me to other sites...but it has made me very wary. And very sad. I was away from the computer for a long time. Just recently came back because there's a lot going on in my life right now and I need the distraction. And the sage wisdom of people my own age who made it through similar situations. And just simply the familiar lightheartedness and chuckles that were always abound here in Y/A Seniors. As for the one who causes so much trouble, I'm sorry to see he's still around. And it's crazy that he's been getting away with this for years now. Wanna hear something funny?.....I finally got my first two violations~ever!~within the last month or so. Didn't hurt me a bit, lol, but there's no doubt where they came from. Thanks for posting this question and giving everyone a chance to speak out. It's been a while since I've seen some of these long-time members...and there are even a few other familiar faces/names who acknowledged their approval by leaving stars. Have one from me, too, Spike. You earned it!

    Ray Lewis has played in almost every defense used in the NFL during his career, is highly adept at understanding and implementing those defenses and is arguably the greatest motivator in the league... I don't think he's head coach material, or even a coordinator, but he'd be an excellent LBs or even a "front seven" coach.

    Ty Law... knows both sides of the ball like the back of his hand. Not to mention, anyone who can get inside Peyton Manning's head should be a shoe-in for a coaching job.
