I would imagine that many of the future coaches will be coming from the not-to-well known ranks. Look at the current list, yes, some were starters but not pro-bowlers. On the other hand a lot were backups or short term NFL'ers.

As to Manning or R. Lewis, I think it pretty clear that, whatever it is that makes an athlete a great player, simply doesn't translate well to coaching. Who was the last superstar, in any league, to be a good (not necessarily great) head coach?
