Hey, that's probably what he wants to do.

The little town, the little school and Favre will probably all benefit from that.

I grew up in a little town in Eastern New Mexico (population <30,000) and had a coach who grew weary of the world, but still wanted to coach.

In the late 1960's, some of his former players would show up during the summer to work out and scrimmage with us.

Thanks to him, I had the privilege at the age of 17 or 18 of teaming up with or trying to defend against folks like Pete Maravich, Rick Mount and Elvin Hayes in a High School gym in the middle of the Summer with nobody watching.

Priceless. Experiences that cannot be repeated.

The only players in that program who went on to make a name for themselves in the sport were Dick Hunsaker, Bubba Jennings and Norman Franse.

It was good, it was great and I would not trade that experience for anything.

There are a bunch of lucky kids and a lucky community out there to be exposed to that sort of thing from Favre.
