The former Los Angeles Rams coach poured fuel on some social media rumors involving recently retired future Hall-of-Fame defensive edge rusher Aaron Donald.

It was said that Donald missed working with Henderson and that with him being retired now, he could find his way onto the staff at USC. Henderson responded to the rumor, giving thought to the reality of Donald joining the coaching staff by posting a wide-eye emoji. 

Henderson doubled down on the rumor during an appearance on The NFL Report.

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.
