Again, an ex-player sitting on an 8-figure bank account is not going to be interested in taking a job that demands 20 hour work days and wages of a few hundred thousand dollars.

And I disagree with that reasoning because many top athletes are motivated by the environment, power, and competition not the money. Singletary has plenty of wealth, but he is still driven to compete just as he was as a player. People laugh at modern players who say, "I would play this game even if it was for free" (e.g. Ray Lewis), but I believe they mean what they say. Why else would someone like Shannarat return to coaching when money is not an issue?
