Former NFL defensive back Rod Woodson is now a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame after putting together an illustrious career as a professional football player. Now looking to possibly get into coaching at the highest level, Woodson has actually found that such a feat is much more difficult than he initially anticipated.
However, Rod Woodson has an interesting take as to exactly why he hasn't been able to break into the coaching ranks of the NFL on a full-time basis.
It appears Rod Woodson believes the problems he has in trying to crack the NFL coaching ranks stem from the fact that he is the owner of a gold jacket as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“They want one alpha in the room,” Rod Woodson recently told TMZ Sports of NFL head coaches. “And, I'm not a real alpha where I want somebody's job. I just want to — I just love talking ball.”
