Raleigh,NC : McCrory’s life post-governor includes a wreck on June, Monday 19th 2017

Pat McCrory says he misses the job of North Carolina’s governor and would consider another run.

“I miss the job,” the former governor said during an appearance on Spectrum News’ “Capital Tonight” program on Friday. “I miss the team. I miss the problem solving ... I don’t miss being governor, I miss doing the job.”

Democrat Roy Cooper defeated McCrory last year in the Republican governor’s bid for a second term.

He joked about having to drive himself now.

“It’s a nightmare,” he said. “Get away from my car if you see my car. I had to buy a car. Someone hit me in the first week ... I am learning how to drive again. I hadn’t driven in four years ... I’m a horrible driver ... But I like the independence a lot.”

He talked about the transition from being governor to being a private citizen again.

“I wish I could have taught in a university,” he said. “But I wasn’t invited to Harvard – which, most former governors are invited to Harvard. As a former mayor, I was invited to Harvard but as a former governor of the ninth largest state, I wasn’t invited to teach at the Kennedy School.”

McCrory said he hoped to teach at the Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy named for former Gov. Terry Sanford, but that didn’t work out.
