Tim Tebow has been back in the news once again after dealing with his release and subsequent blackball in the NFL, as reports came out that some in the quarterback's camp feel that his career is over and while his father refuted that, the former Florida star has plenty of offers to consider if he hangs up his cleats.
Tebow has been offered work in the CFL and the AFL and just recently radio host Glenn Beck jokingly said on his radio show that even though they could never afford it, he would hire the quarterback to cover sports on his show once he goes through all of his other possible options. For Tebow though, another day means another offer and this time it is coming from a world that he once dominated: college football.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, an article from the Ohio State fan website ElevenWarriors.com had a choice for fans in a poll and a majority voted that they would want Tebow to take a job as an assistant coach if he was offered one. Of course, Tebow's old head coach at the University of Florida was Urban Meyer and the two won championships together, including in 2007 when the team defeated the Buckeyes 41-14. As of Tuesday night, nearly 2,000 people had voted and yes was answered 68 percent of the time with nearly 1,300 votes, while no had 15 percent and it's complicated had 17 percent.
Tebow has had quite the run since being released by the Jets and although reports came out that some in the quarterback's camp feel his career is over, Tebow's father said that the reports were not true and that Tim isn't giving up. It's hard to imagine that Tebow would be in this situation after the playoff win against the Steelers while he was with the Broncos, but based on the way things went last season with the Jets, it might be hard to get NFL teams to forget that. The situation in New York was not Tebow's fault as the Jets basically set him up to fail, never giving him a chance to get a rhythm and also using him as a decoy and blocker on special teams.
Tebow was on top of the world after leading the Denver Broncos to the playoffs after taking over a 1-4 team and he helped lead the team to a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs in overtime. Following the release of Peyton Manning from the Colts, the Broncos pounced on Peyton Manning and decided to trade Tebow to the Jets, which the team announced with great fanfare. Tebow is one of the most popular players in the league despite not being in the league and the poll for the fans from Ohio State read:
-- YES
-- NO
-- IT'S COMPLICATED
