Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning revealed some of his post-retirement plans to service members and their families on a United Service Organizations video call Thursday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

"I really wanted to try to take a year off and just try to gather my bearings and get settled with my family and figure out what I want to do in that next chapter.

"I know one thing: I don't want to be an NFL coach. I've seen what our coaches do and the hours they put in, and I enjoy being with my family and enjoy coaching some of their sports teams.
