Give Peyton a Super Bowl run this year and I think he will contemplate retirement. If not then he is still only a few good years left. Like most I believe that he can and will join the Vols staff as a OC, QB coach, or even head coach if he wanted. Watching Peyton dissect other NFL teams within a few minutes while on the sideline is amazing. Also, Peyton has the ability to coach receivers, running backs, and even linemen to understand and perform well in his offensive system.... I'm pretty sure also that we would annually have the #1 QB in the country begging to play for Peyton.

Gotta dream big!

Get real dude! Peyton will be going nowhere after retirement except for the front office at Denver! You will never see Peyton on the sidelines except as a guest of honor. He is suit and tie and board meetings bound!

Peyton isn't just a football genius, he's an addict of the game.
I doubt you'll see him wasting his knowledge in a booth.
Also would be surprised if he would be satisfied with total retirement from the game.
He'll be coaching or GM-ing somewhere.

Gereral manager! You might be onto something there!! He won't coach, but if he did I guarantee he would be very successful!

Peyton loves everything about Tennessee...but I don't see him ever coaching UT.

Me either. AD or University President would be cool though. Honestly, he's probably "too big" for either of those positions. Just an active ambassador/contributor (not just cash, but things like the coaching seminar he did and helping teach the QBs) would be great.

Exactly. He is too smart to come back to college football.

Peyton will OWN a team before he coaches one. That said, he could help the VOL program ENORMOUSLY if he agreed to be our, say, offensive coordinator for a few years--long enough to stock up on talent, and we would stock up on talent if he became a Vol coach. We'd get the program rolling again, and then he could move on to the next big thing.

Ahh the ole "Peyton Manning as coach" thread. Always a classic.








He won't be a coach. Anywhere.

I think the last thing we see PM doing is coaching. . I think he will be in the business world and dropping in the booth from time to time.

You know--please stop and think just a minute about Peyton--and ask yourself a few questions:

1) Why does he always come back to UT and spend some of his summer off mentoring some of UT's QBs?

2) Why does he, Archie, and Eli run their QB camp down in New Orleans EVERY YEAR?

Qb camp a couple of weeks a year is nothing like being on a coaching staff.

Based on what? Your feelings? Because you wouldn't have gotten that from anything he's ever publicly stated.

And why do you assume he wants to coach at UT? He's never stated he wants to in any capacity.

Well if you actually READ my post, you'd see that I never said he wanted to coach here. I did state my opinion that he would eventually coach somewhere, but I said "I THINK" and not "HE SAID."

He would be better DC if he coached as a coordinator. He has mastered defenses. But I see him spending retirement with his fam.

seriously, the OP must be smoking something illegal - Peyton is DESTROYING other teams - why on earth would that be a ride he is ready to get off? I mean, sure he is no young whippersnapper any more but if he could do it while puttering around in PJs and slippers on a walker, I am guessing he would.

The general rule of thumb is that most great coaches were less than stellar athletes who learned to maximize their potential and productivity by becoming students of the game. Conversely, relatively few superstar athletes become great coaches. Ted Williams was held up as the poster child for this premise; he was a supremely talented athlete who, like Peyton, also studiously perfected his craft, at least when it came to the art of hitting. When Williams became a manager, he quickly became impatient with players for whom the game did not come so easily or who were unwilling to invest as much effort into self-improvement. Typically it is the athlete who has to scratch and claw for every measure of success and, in the process, masters the x's and o's of his game that becomes the best coach, which, after all, ultimately boils down to teaching and motivation.

Ted Williams immediately came to mind for me as well.

I was recently at the gym wearing orange and he came up to me and said he is not interested in coaching. He also said Urlacher is FOS and DirecTV is way better than Comcast. TIFWIW
