Life after football
After considering retirement since the 2004 season ended, he finally decided to do so on July 15, 2005.. Although he had two restaurant businesses going in South Carolina, Abrahams was searching for a post playing occupation and during his playing years, he swore to himself that he would never become a coach. However, while on the sidelines of his oldest son’s youth football practice, a local high school coach, whose son played on the same team as Abraham’s, approached him about helping out his team. Before long, Abraham became the head coach at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg.
Abraham, guided Gibbs to its first district title in 2009 but resigned after a 3-7 season in 2010. He was Defensive Backs Coordinator (2011-2012) at Tampa Bay Storm and later (2012) at East Lake High School. In 2013, he was the Head Coach of the Clearwater High School football team and resigned in 2015. He was (2015-2017) the Defensive Coordinator IMG Academy, in Bradenton, Florida. In February 15, 2017, he was named Defensive Assistant Coach for the Illinois Fighting Illini football, joining Head Coach Lovie Smith's coaching team.
