Former Pitt quarterback Alex Van Pelt has enjoyed working as a color analyst on Buffalo Bills radio broadcasts, but he has a coaching itch he said needs scratching.

Van Pelt said he has left a telephone message for Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt, and he hopes to speak to him about a position on the coaching staff. more (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/steelerslive/s_287755.html)

To me it appears that Van Pelt because an announcer only because he could not find a coaching position. Who would Bills probably try to get? This is not like a full time position so someone in media could handle it.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. I figured AVP would end up in coaching, and his alma mater is a logical place to get started.

I wish him the best also and I think he would be a great coach also. He was alwasy active on the sidelines and the first to report to Drew when the offense left the field he seems like a real X's and O's kind of guy.

I hope he breaks into coaching, even if it's with Wanny. Good luck.

Hopefully he is a coach with Buffalo at some point.

Good luck to him. If that's what he wants then all the power to him I say.

I like this idea if Van Pelt leaves! :up:

I'd rather ask Marv Levy to be new announcer.

I think Marv and Jim would make great announcers.

"where else would you rather be, ladies and gentlemen?"
