PHOENIX — Heath Farwell has an ideal way to stop future squabbling between his two sons: Win another Super Bowl ring.

The linebacker and special teams ace earned one last year with Seattle, and although Farwell is on injured reserve and won’t play in Sunday’s game against New England, he will receive another ring if the Seahawks win.

“I’ve got two young boys that I’m sure they’ll fight over it, so hopefully I can get another one,” the former Vikings stalwart said Tuesday at Super Bowl media day at US Airways Center about Brock, 3, and Beau, 1.

Farwell, Seattle’s special teams captain, was lost for the season when he suffered a torn groin in the preseason. Still, he’s been busy. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has given Farwell what amounts to coaching duties.

The 10-year veteran helps with special teams and serves as a mentor to rookie linebacker Brock Coyle.

“It was kind of a blessing in disguise,” Farwell said of his injury. “To see a glimpse of my future and coaching and see if I really liked it.”

Farwell, 33, hopes to play at least one more season but is considering a fulltime move to coaching if he can’t. He already gets regularly mistaken for a notable Seattle coach, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

Both are bald and have similar rugged builds.

“I get that all the time,” Farwell said, “My teammates joke around with me. They go, ‘Dan, Dan, Dan.’ ”

Farwell has been with the Seahawks since 2011. Before that, he played for the Vikings from 2005-10 as a valuable special teams performer after being undrafted out of San Diego State.

Farwell stays in touch with Minnesota linebacker Chad Greenway and former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber, now a Twin Cities sportscaster. After winning a championship last year, he couldn’t help but feel for long-starved Minnesota fans, who cheer for a team that lost four Super Bowls and hasn’t been to the big game in 38 years.

“I’ve got so much respect for that organization,” Farwell said. “That’s where I started, so I’ve got a lot of love for that organization. I know the coaching staff has changed, but I still have got a lot of friends in that building, on that staff. I hope for the best for them.”

For now, Farwell has another Super Bowl to worry about. He’s hoping for a repeat of last year, when Brock and Beau, then six months old, celebrated with him on the field following a 43-8 win over Denver at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

“To bring them out on the field, that was something,” he said. “That picture at the end is my favorite.”

If another such photo is snapped Sunday, it will mean Farwell’s ring dilemma has been solved.
