Brett Favre Says 'Never Say Never' to Returning to NFL as Coach, GM

Brett Favre may be looking for an opportunity to return to the NFL, but this time as a coach or general manager for a team. 

During a Thursday appearance on ESPN Wisconsin's Wilde & Tausch, Favre admitted he's thought of coaching or leading a front office with an NFL team. 

"That type of stuff has crossed my mind," he said, via ESPN.com's Jason Wilde. "Because it's no different to me than coaching. It's being involved in the game in some aspect."

A three-time NFL MVP, Favre has coaching experience at Oak Grove High School in Mississippi, where he spent two years from 2012-13 on the sidelines as an offensive coordinator. 

He admitted that experience changed his mind about the possibility of being an NFL coach at some point in his post-playing career. 

"I always thought I would be a good coach, but I didn't know if I had the effort in me," he said. "Well, I did. I'll tell you what: It was a joy. The competitive spirit came right back. It was obviously different than playing, and so I had a lot of fun."

He added: "I believe that would be a dream job, working as a coach there or in some form of administration. I don't know, and I don't want to create a stir [by talking about it], because who knows? But I would say, 'Never say never.'"

Since retiring from the NFL after the 2010 season, Fave has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and did analysis on NFL Network for Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
