    What would he do??? I don't know much about his personal life. I know he has a young family. No way I could ever see him in the broadcast booth. I don't even think all those talking heads on the NFL Network would want him on the team. A QB Coach for an NFL team???

    I wonder at times what the hell do you do when you retire in your thirties? Maybe he could work at Primanti Brothers hawking his Roethlisberger burger. (is that still an item?)

    I don't think Ben's a terrible talker, he could easily be a talking head.

    But, I think he seems to much a family man now, he may just want to go focus on his kids.

    Maybe he can go into the Steelers Radio Booth. Sad to say be this may be the last year for Tunch with his health aliments.

    He be a good color guy for Steelers Radio.

    If he invested his money wisely he will retire with $140,000,000 or more. I know I wouldn't worry about doing anything but relaxing and seeing several other countries with my family before throwing my hat into the mix for anything NFL related. He will get opportunities though. He not a bad speaker and with a lot of these talking heads getting older ESPN will have his phone ringing off the hook. I'm sure NFL teams will value his QB skills as well for coaching their young QB's.

    Coach? No, he can’t read a defense or a playbook.

    Announcer? No, that requires the ability to speak and think intelligently.

    Golf, hunt, fish? Yes, he can do this.

    I pray he doesn't become a coach.. he's basically the o coordinator now and u see how that goes.. plus he wanted to keep guys like switzer on the team so he's not exactly the next judge in talent either.. just stay home with your family and watch football on the couch like the rest of us

    I think Ben will be fine and find something to do just like other retired QBs. Brady is the guy that I think they will have to drag off the field kicking and screaming and even then he'll go nuts without football.

    The Steelers have paid him well north of 200 million for his career, I think he could also do anything he wants.
    These superstars, have way different lives than us avg Joe's.

    I agree. He has made 240 mil. with us I read. That's almost 1/4 billion dollars. How will be free his family if he retires? :cool:
