What could that possibly be for?

We need someone to coach up self-promotion?

Honestly, if he is looking to get into coaching, give him a QC position, let him study film, and work under a guy like McCardell. If McCarddell is a good coach he's probably going to be a good teacher of other coaches, and also may not stick around forever waiting for a promotion.

While I'm skeptical of any sort of "hiring" of the guy  --  there is no reason he can't continue to dip his toe in the waters of coaching, and McCardell/Marrone may be the right environment for him to get some good experience. 

Lots of players transition to coaching at some level (even if not in the league) and these sort of formal or informal internships are a common way for them to begin the process.  Nearly every single offseason we hear reports of multiple former players coming through the Jags OTAs and camp to gain experience. Not a big deal if that's what is being discussed. 85 just has a big personality so folks are a bit hesitant to take him seriously.
