Asked if he was worried about his future well-being, Snee answered: “I certainly haven’t been thinking about it, and my feeling is that I’ll be fine. I’m going to apply the same mind-set I had for 10 years: one day at a time. I feel good, and I’m doing the right things for myself — that’s what I’m focused on.”

Although Snee graduated from Boston College with an accounting degree, he does not expect his college major to influence his next vocational choice. He is instead looking into coaching football at a high school on a full-time basis next season.

“If he’s a coach, those kids will learn how to be a good teammate,” Manning said. “Chris never said much. He was just there for you whenever you needed him.”

Tom Coughlin has not counseled Snee about coaching.

“Frankly, I think he could do whatever he wants — Wall Street, whatever — and succeed,” Coughlin said. “He’s that smart.”

The coach and the player, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, do not spend the time together that they once did.

“It bothers me that I don’t see him every day because seeing him always gave me confidence,” Coughlin said. “But he made the right decision. And it makes me appreciate those 10 years.”

Snee’s acclimation to being a former player has been smooth, with one major exception: game days.

“If I go to a game, before kickoff I get goose bumps and feel that edgy nervousness just like I did when I was playing,” he said. “My body fully expects that I’m going to run onto that field, and that’s hard.”
