What if Peyton retired after this season?

Nobody is saying he should be a HC, but if you don't realize by now that Peyton is BOTH the QB and the de facto Offensive Coordinator for his team, then you should just STFU and sit down. You have nothing to contribute to the discussion. Everyone....but you, I suppose, knows he runs the offense, and for this reason he can step into any OC or QB coaching job he wants.

Again, all you smart-mouth a$$hats won't have shiite to say once he retires. Again, there WILL be no shortage of offers for him to be an offensive coordinator or QB coach. The list will be longer than his HS offer list.

He may choose the broadcast route, instead, but Peyton isn't a HOF shoe in because of his athleticism. It's because he has a brilliant offensive mind and unmatched work ethic. He enjoys playing mental chess games with opposing DC's. This is why I personally believe he will feel compelled to continue to compete....mentally...by coaching, rather than commentating.

The question is whether he decides to go out on top and retires after this season. And if so, would CBJ offer him the job at UT? It's a legitimate question to ask. Peyton already runs a fast tempo offense, so it wouldn't be a drastic change in offensive philosophy.

Another **** who wasn't hugged enough as a child or was hugged too much. Peyton Manning will never be the coach in any capacity at UT. What makes you think he has any desire or even the ability to coach college players?

You are correct that Manning is basically calls all the plays for the Broncos, but that does not mean he would be a great Offensive Coordinator.

Exactly, it's like people saying they would be a good coach because they are good at madden.

What I don't get is why people STILL talk about Gruden. Why do people think he is such a football god?

Why would it be farfetched for him to return to his alma mater if he does indeed retire? I just don't get all the Gruden comparisons? This isn't Gruden's alma-mater, and Peyton wouldn't be concerned about the $$$ to do so, if the opportunity presented itself.

Unlike any other NFL QB, Peyton is practically the OC of the team he plays for. Other teams will immediately offer him an OC job (Bud Adams hinted as much last year when the Titan's lost out to Denver for Peyton's services), so why all this gruden/unicorn/'not this again' BS?

I personally think he would give it serious consideration...especially in light of the dire circumstances the program has suffered the past several years. He knows his presence on the staff would be an even bigger boon to the program than Bama's alleged pipedream of luring Saban from the NFL, was to theirs

He does not want to coach college football. I cant put it into words any easier than that. Unless the man has lied numerous times he will not "coach" in any capacity at UT.

I highly doubt Peyton ever coaches in college football, but if he did elect to, for one I think that Jones would stick with Bajakian if all is going well, and two, I think Peyton would start at Duke as the OC under Cutcliffe to get his foot in the door and gain some experience. As much as I'd like to see it, I don't think we see Peyton on the sidelines in orange... at least to play or coach... ever again.

Payton Manning has always represented the conference, state, university and game with class. If he comes back to coach great- of he doesn't he has done plenty for us and will always be held in the highest regard. I hope whatever he chooses to do next makes him happy.

It is Peyton. I'm not a spelling Nazi but you have to get that one around here.

Barring a major injury, Peyton is going to play at least 2-3 years. He's not the type to step down if he still "has it", and so far this season he does.

Heck, he didn't like coming out of UT games up by 40 points...and you think he's gonna retire this year. :lolabove:

Haha I'm only 22. I'm not one of those guys that's stuck trying to relive the glory days, I just think chavis and cutcliff are still top notch coaches look at their current success.
And I also think alumni usually make some of the best coaches

Doofus, he ALREADY IS a coach...what planet did you come from? Practically every NFL player and coach knows that it's Peyton's offense. The media pundits have ALWAYS stated/acknowledged as much. When he was choosing which NFL team to play for, as a Free Agent, last year, everyone was saying that if he came to a team, they would not be "fitting him into their system"....he would run his own offense. He has been the de-facto Offensive Coordinator in Indy for years, and now Denver.

He may choose to go straight to broadcasting, but he may very well decide to step into an OC position somewhere. Several teams will ask him when he retires. Whether he takes them up on it, no one knows.

I'll have to go along with those who are predicting that Peyton soon makes the transition to NFL management/partial team ownership after he retires.
