Favre said he's thought about getting into broadcasting or a higher level of coaching, but is content to wait until his daughter is out of high school.
"One of the reasons I retired in the first place was I wanted to be in one place and experience all these things with my family," Favre said. "This year will be a trial basis (for coaching). I feel like I can help the kids, but I'm not promising we'll win any more games. Shoot, we might not win one."
Favre certainly didn't inherit an easy situation. Though Oak Grove is a perennial power at the 6A level -- Mississippi's highest football classification -- the Warriors return just one starter on offense. Some days, Favre feels like a rookie again.
"My experience in pro football means nothing," Favre said. "Absolutely nothing here. It's totally different. So our biggest learning curve as a team might be my learning curve."
Favre said during these early days of training camp, he'll lean on the other coaches to learn the terminology and scheme. But what he offers immediately is the real-world experience of dealing with people, directing a huddle and figuring out what can turn a good player into a better one.
Whether it's Green Bay or Oak Grove, some things in football don't change.
"I really believe I'm good at reading people," Favre said. "From being in the huddle, being in the locker room and in all those meetings for all those years, I understand that some people learn this way and some learn another way. ... My whole job is to try and keep things simple. The more you have to think, the less your talent can show."
