Maybe my negativism kicking in but this was my first thought as well. My brother-in-law was an heir apparent to his father (who was a professional athlete and well respected coach who died young) ...only problem...he didn't possess his father's level of football skills (did get some good baseball genes). Always felt sorry for him, knowing he felt the pressure....I tried to encourage him along the way. He did ok though.... he's now a seasoned Dr and author who owns a large clinic employing lots of folks. His dad would be so proud of him....No pressure, kid...
I believe Cutcliffe is an analyst for Texas.Y'all need to remember that every Manning has made their own choice in where they went to school. It typically comes down to which coach they have the best relationship with. With Peyton and Eli is was Coach Cutcliffe. With Arch it's Sarkisian.
So if Marshall doesn't come here it won't be on Peyton. Don't be like Ole Miss fans and how they turned on Archie after Peyton decided to come to Tennessee.
He is Peyton Manning’s son. No matter where he goes, that’s going to be the expectation.Zero chance he ends up here. Would you want to go to a school where you will be expected to be Peyton 2.0?
I think expectations will be high anywhere he goes but with our fan base, they will be off the charts if he comes here.
