Olsen has joined former Panthers teammates Luke Kuechly and Jonathan Stewart on the coaching staff at Charlotte Christian School.

The trio won three straight NFC South titles and played in Super Bowl 50 for the Panthers after a 15-1 season in 2015.

Olsen is head coach of the team, with Kuelchy and Stewart his assistants.

A photo of the trio went viral at the weekend.

“Imagine playing middle school football and this is your coaching staff,” the caption read .

Olsen is coaching his son Tate on the team.

Olsen responded: “We’re building something special at [Charlotte Christian Football] Just getting started!”

Olsen went into further detail about his role in an interview with the Charlotte Observer .

Olsen said high school head coach Chris James “is doing a great job, and we’re trying to work with him.”

“The kids we have are great. They really want to learn,” he added.

Olsen expects other teams to raise their games by playing against a school with NFL legends in their coaching ranks.

“Oh, I know we’re going to get each team’s best shot,” he said.

“But that’s the fun of playing football. The kids will learn and get better.”

He added: “It’s a great school, we have great kids, and the program is first-class. Football here is a lot of fun.”

The Tom Brady domino effect

Tom Brady will take his seat in Fox's top NFL announce team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

And his arrival at the network has set off a domino effect with every other announcer moving down one spot.

That means Fox’s NFL coverage in 2024 will feature entirely new broadcast pairings.

Greg Olsen , who previously worked alongside Burkhardt, will now be part of the No. 2 announce team with Joe Davis.

The other Fox pairings for 2024 are:

• Adam Amin-Mark Sanchez
• Kenny Albert-Jon Vilma
• Kevin Kugler-Daryl Johnston
• Chris Myers-Mark Schlereth

Olsen is also hoping to turn his passion for youth sports into a successful business venture.

In May, he closed on a $4.5 million seed round for his new youth sports content and commerce company Youth Inc., a digital media network that will be focused exclusively to youth sports content.

Originally a podcast launched by Audiorama, it now wants to transition into a media and e-commerce company.

It will aim to not only entertain and educate people but serve as a direct-to-consumer merchandise marketplace.

Olsen will be replaced in the No. 1 Fox broadcast booth by NFL icon Tom Brady for the 2024 season.
