Despite loving the game of football about as much as anything else in the world, Rob Gronkowski is letting the world know that he will not ever put on a headset and agree to coach in college or the NFL. 

He recently life as a coach is not what he envisions for himself and refuses to even apply as a position coach.

Gronkowski opened up to TMZ Sports and discussed that and his future in general. 

"My life is just way too good right now," he said. "I'm just not made for that coaching life. I've seen what they go through. It's one of the most stressful jobs I would say in America. It really is. I'm not down to coach 12 hours a day, you know? I love the game of football but you gotta pick and choose what's right in the game of football."

Gronkowski - who won rings in New England and in Tampa Bay - says he likes the involvement he has with the game now that he is retired. He is an NFL commentator on FOX.

"Where I'm at now doing the Fox commentary on Sundays I think I'm involved in football just the right amount," said Gronkowski, who joined Fox NFL Sunday and Fox NFL Kickoff as a studio analyst in 2019. "But coaching I would say isn't really for me in the NFL or college world."

Gronkowski did not rule out coaching his future children some day. He said he might even be willing to coach them up through the high school level. ... and would be open to coaching other sports.

"I can see myself coaching one day when I have kids in my life, coaching their teams, Pop Warner" he said. "Even high school. I would be down to [coaching] high school as well. I'm down, not just football but coaching them in any sport."
