I don't know? It was a quote Maiocco had posted. I guess he interviewed Jerry today after the HOF announcement.

I found it..

Jerry was asked if he still followed the 49ers and Jerry said
"Very closely, very closely"

Then he mentioned Crabtree, Davis, Gore and Alex Smith.

Then he was asked if he would like to be more involved and come around more often and Jerry replied
"I had a conversation with Mike Singeltary, and I said the passion and love for this game is still burning inside me."
then he said
"I would love to be able to go in there and talk to the players, be a part where I could work with certain players and stuff like that but that would have to be up to Mike Singeltary or York to bring me in."

Would he really ?

Look I'd love for Rice to be involved with the organization in some way but I wouldn't go as far as start thinking he'll make players better. It's a 2 way street, he can share his knowledge with them but that knowledge does not translate to success. Knowledge is power.

I also would not go as far as to think he should replace any coaches on staff, he is inexperienced as a position coach and should start out as an assistant, likely to Jerry Sullivan.
