“Can I be coaching and be out here playing golf with my boys? I don’t think so. This is what matters to me right now. Being a husband and a father. You know, I can’t see myself coaching. You see the hours and the time they put in, and that’s great, but I can’t see myself doing that. So this right now is my priority, and I just absolutely love this.”


From Josh Carney, Steelers Depot:

A full-time dad and family man, Ben Roethlisberger is enjoying being a father and true Yinzer in retirement. But someday, after quarterbacking the team for nearly two decades, he hopes to have a new role in the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

“Yeah, I’m gonna be here [in Pittsburgh]. We’re not leaving here. This is home for us and I’m gonna pay attention to it. And I’d love to get involved with the Steelers at some point when it’s right. Whatever that looks like, I don’t know. I just, I enjoy being here. I enjoy what goes on here.”


Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday afternoon while on the golf course in – where else – Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger stated that while he won’t be getting into coaching anytime soon, he’d “love” to involved with the Steelers organization in some capacity.
