Which Players Are Future Coaches?
NOTE: PLEASE TRY NOT TO BE A HOMER IN THIS THREAD
Alright, I've wondered this since Mike Singletary was hired as HC for San Francisco.
What players in today's game do you think can be notable coaches/coordinators 5-10 years from now?

Obvious: Manning (if he chooses)
Less Obvious: Zach Thomas, Brian Dawkins (semi-homer, but I don't care), Ray Lewis???, Jason Witten.
Really am not sure. Just the names that pop out to me...

I have always thought Matt Birk could be a decent coach if he chose to be one.

What characteristics are we looking for in our potential coach? Charisma? Knowledge of their current position? a team leader?
This seems like a silly question, we don't know hardly enough about these players to judge if they would be a good coach or not.

Lofa Tatupu will make a very good LB coach when he's all done.

It's damn near impossible to ascertain this.

Every NFL player that went to an Ivy League school or Stanford, but for players sake of naming one I'll say: Mike Vrable

Brian Dawkins and Ray Lewis have defensive coordinator jobs in the future.
Ray Lewis is a defensive genius and has carried that Ravens defense for a decade. His knowledge is incredible and he is a great leader. He will be a great coach one day.
Dawkins is the same way, he knows the zone blitz system like the back of his hand and he is a fantastic leader. I truly want him to be an Eagles coach one day.

I really don't see the impossibility of this question.
I mean, an obvious candidate would be somebody who has been around the game from a X's and O's standpoint, like a back up quarterback or a notable bench player.
Basically a player who has watched the game more than he has been on the field.
Here are some players that I think could be strong candidates:
For some reason or another, I keep thinking Jim Sorgi, the back up QB for the Colts. He is a player who has been behind the best in the game for the past 6-10 years and should have a massive understanding of the game. Yes, he rarely plays, but if there is anyone who knows the X's and O's of the game to a HC standpoint, I would think him.
Other players who I have considered:
I think Larry Izzo has special teams coordinator written all over him
Jeff Saturday
Matt Birk
Brad Johnson (former QB)
Jeff Garcia?
London Fletcher-Baker
Those are just a couple that I could name off the top of my head.

Bruschi if he chooses, same with Thomas I believe but it's hard to say. If they do, they would be great positional coaches. Simulate like 6 years in a madden franchise and go to hire a staff. See what former players are there.

London Fletcher to me could be a defensive coordinator. Also down the line Matt Ryan just looks like he has the mind and presense of a coach. Ray Lewis could follow the path of Singletary should he choose. Also many times backup and mediocre QB's become QB coaches at some level. Todd Collins, Ken Dorsey, Derek Anderson, Kyle Boller, scream QB coaches to me. David Garrard also strikes me as someone who could look into being a QB coach down the road.

I'm sure Peyton Manning will have a job over at Tennessee waiting for him the day he retires as a player.

Give it 10-15 years. Our QB are going to be something!
I say Jim Leonhard, for a random gut call.

Boller WTF?
I know he had a good work ethic but IDK if he would be a good QB coach

Keith Brooking
Kevin Mawae
Trent Edwards
Kurt Warner
Could also probably see Chris Long as a coach somewhere down the line.
