DeAngelo Hall Talks Returning to VT as a coach

D'lo gave a pretty comprehensive interview with the Redskins' team website regarding what his future holds now that he has completed his most recent contract with the team. It's possible he would consider continuing to play in the NFL (most likely at another team) as he is an un-restricted free agent after the season. But, he sounds really excited about what comes after football, whether that's in the media, on the sideline, or in the front office.

He specifically spoke about returning to the Hokies as a coach.

Hall said his legacy will probably go down as someone who was "a great athlete, great competitor, fiery at times, a bit of a butthole at times, but ultimately a team guy."

"Probably didn't start out that way, but I'd like to definitely be thought of as a guy who thought more about the team than himself," Hall said. "Probably not a great corner, but a great football player, a guy who knew how to play football and tried to play it the right way and to the best of his ability. That's kind of what I would like my legacy to be."

Hall could potentially transition over into a front office or coaching position after feeling like a "glorified coach" for the defensive backs in recent years.

"I do think now that's something that I would like to do," Hall said. "I don't know if it's something I would like to do right now, but it's definitely something I would like to do at some point. But, like I said, it has to be the right situation. I can remember some whispers were happening with Virginia Tech, and I kind of threw some feelings out. Got some good responses, so that's definitely something that's up my alley. I love Coach Fuente, I wish him nothing but the best, but if he ever walks away, I will be trying to make my way down to Blacksburg. He's good to go for a long time now, so I don't know if that'll ever happen.

"But, I never really thought about coaching until kind of some whispers of him possibly leaving came about. But, like I said, I don't know. I don't know if I'll be holding a [microphone] like you guys, or trying to play again, or in the front office more in a suit. I don't know what's in store yet, but I'm optimistic."

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
