Henderson is stating that Donald is set to enjoy time with his family before he comes to any decision about his football future. Still, Henderson continues to spin the wheels of the rumor by posting the wide-eye emoji. It could just be he likes using that emoji. 

This is all pure speculation at this point, but Donald may want to remain involved In the football world. If he does come to coach the Trojans, USC will be getting one of the best to play the game on their coaching staff.

His experience and knowledge could vastly help the Trojans' defense going forward, so this is something to watch. But more than likely, it's just Henderson spinning the wheel, hoping for his friend to join the staff.
