I'd have him on my backroom staff, if I could understand him
Seriously though, gotta love the lad, especially the quotes about him going to finish his career somewhere else if he's not 'good enough for the team' (something along of the lines of 'I want to finish playing the best football of my career at Liverpool, but I might go somewhere else for a few years after'. Puts Liverpool's best interest before his own, I've got no doubts in my mind that Carra will be working behind the scenes one way or another.
edit: Carra's already done some of the badges, not sure which ones though.

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher plans for life in the dugout
Paul Ince and Roy Keane may not have survived in the cut-throat world of managing a Premier League team, but Jamie Carragher insists he will not let their fate put him off moving to the dugout.
The Liverpool defender's former team-mate Ince was sacked as Blackburn manager in December after just 21 games at Ewood Park, while his old foe Keane resigned after two years at Sunderland with his side deep in the relegation mire.
The sight of such high-profile casualties would make most players shy away from taking charge of a top flight team. But Carragher, never one to shirk a challenge, remains unbowed.
He told Liverpool's official magazine: "I think I still want to go into management. I'm sure I'll stay in football in some capacity. That might be as a trainer, a coach or a manager.
"I don't think I could live without football. It's been part of my life since the age of four or five and I think and talk about it constantly.
"I'd have to try management one day and see if it's for me. If it wasn't, I'd just move on. Roy Keane did a good job bringing Sunderland up in his first season and then keeping them up after that, but what happened with him and Ince wouldn't make me think twice about becoming a manager."
The incumbent of the post Carragher would one day inhabit, Rafa Benitez, is facing a task to keep the Dutch international Dirk Kuyt out of the clutches of Juventus.
Claudio Ranieri's side, currently second in Serie A, have been linked with a host of the Anfield side's players, including Ryan Babel, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger, but now appear to have turned their attentions to the former Feyenoord striker.
Juventus are desperately seeking a replacement for Pavel Nedved, the Czech international who is due to retire at the end of the current campaign. Kuyt, converted to a right winger by Benitez after arriving at Anfield as a forward, has impressed this season on the flank.
Benitez would be loathe to lose a player who remains an integral part of his plans and who is widely acknowledged among his team-mates as being a key cog in the Spaniard's system, but with transfer funds in the summer likely to be restricted by the club's owners' financial travails, a bid of £10 million would be tempting.
Liverpool academy boss John Owens has revealed defender Jamie Carragher is already working with the club's juniors teams
Discussing the prospects of Carragher and Steven Gerrard entering management, Owens told liverpoolfc.tv: "In terms of the success they have gone on to then currently we have two fantastic ones.
"Steven (Gerrard) would get more of a European and world accolade because of the position he plays and his ability to score magnificent, match-winning goals, whereas Jamie (Carragher) is such a different character.
"He's actually doing his coaching badges at the moment, so he comes here and works with 15 and 16 year olds with Dave Shannon.
"He's getting in some practice and he wants to get back into the game once he hangs up his boots. It will be fantastic if and when he does.
"Maybe he could be involved with Liverpool, he's certainly the right type for it. He has such a fantastic attitude and a love for the club."
