Samuels is a top-shelf human being. If he wants a coaching career, he needs to learn how to be a coach. The list of great players who turned into mediocre - - or bad - - coaches is a long one. Coaching is a skill that is different from playing.

Just a guess here, but I would not be surprised to see Samuels take a position as a position coach for a "second-tier college" sometime soon to start climbing the coaching ladder.
