Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill’s social media post Wednesday began a debate about what he meant.
“It’s time for me to go coach,” Hill wrote, without punctuation.
Was he telling Mike McDaniel it’s time for Hill to leave Miami? Did he mean it’s time for Hill to become more involved in the offense?
It turns out the post didn’t need punctuation, with Hill intended it to mean exactly as it reads.
Hill said Thursday that after Teddy Bridgewater won a state high school championship in Florida as a head coach and former NFL player Michael Vick was hired as the head coach at Norfolk State that he wants to coach when his playing career is finished.
“What I meant was, when I say it’s time for me to go coach, meaning that when you see guys like Teddy Bridgewater, you see guys like Michael Vick getting his head coaching job, it’s like, bro, I want to be a coach also when I’m done playing,’' Hill said, via Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. “You know what I’m saying? So that’s all I meant by it.”
Hill made it clear he is not retiring, and he does not want a trade.
“I didn’t mean by I want to get traded or I want to leave Miami,” Hill said. “I’m in a great situation here. I love the guys here. I love this organization. They obviously changed me and my family’s life, you know what I’m saying, forever. So I’m in a great spot, man. I’m happy. I wish we were playing better ball, but at the end of the day, like I feel like when I tweet something, it’s not always about football.
“It’s about, you know, seeing these other guys, you know, succeed in other areas like Deion Sanders and stuff like that. So I was just shooting my shot. I really had Michael Vick like, ‘Hey, it’s time for me to go coach with Vick,’ you know what I’m saying?”
