by soon I mean in the next 2-5 yrs? I personally believe he'd be a excellent QB and/or OC coordinator.

Even though unorthodox, I would get a few rounds in the NFL first.

Maybe at first, but that dude loves football wayyyy too much to just do TV. One of the most competitive QB's to ever play the game.


I also don't see him wanting to recruit...like ever.

Head coach? No. The great players rarely make good HCs. He will be on ESPN.

I don't know he just jumps in as a OC. If he shows what we all know to be true, then his rise in the ranks will be fast. Is it certain he will go to the SEC though?

I don't think so. Would be nice for us if he would cause he would probably want to coach at UT above anywhere else

ETA: if he would even be a good coach which isn't necessarily the case

I've wanted to go with this angle. But, even coaches like jim harbaugh had to spend sometime on the college level.

If Eli wins Super Bowl this Sunday can you make a viable argument that Eli > Peyton?

Eli would have proven to be more clutch in the playoffs, which is what counts the most.

Agreed, he doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would be able to walk into a living room and grab whoever he wanted. He's huge selling ticket to recruits would be the fact that he was an elite QB with a superbowl victory.

Harbaugh liked to recruit. From everything I know about Peyton's personality, putting up with high school kids and their parents is not something he would want to do.

No. Not even close.

In terms of playoff performances I would put Eli ahead of Peyton. If we're talking about stats and overall performance in the regular season. Peyton kills Eli

Yes, obviously Peyton has some of the best overall career numbers in NFL history, but if Eli leads his team to a second Super Bowl over Tom Brady and the Pats, you will here some arguments that Eli's playoff success trumps Peyton's great regular season numbers and pedestrian results in the playoffs

He's competitive, but people that think he'd make a great Offensive Coordinator show a complete lack of understanding of what he's run on offense with Tom Moore for more than a decade (before Moore left for the Jets).

Peyton runs a simple game based on reading defenses-which he does extremely well pre-snap-where he makes the secondary make coverages choices on very basic hi-low reads, and then attacks with a pass to the receiver in the section of the Secondary that the Defensive Backs & other defenders with coverage responsibility decided not to defend.

There is no "brilliant scheming". He doesn't have some innovative system that only he can run. He's just got an impeccable ability to read a defense and then put on-the-money throws to receivers who are open.

That's not to say he doesn't know his sh!t, but I'll pout it to you like this.

He & Tom Moore designed that offense that he can now essentially run himself and has for years. Moore was hired in the offseason by the Jets to help unclutter Mark Sanchez's head, as Brian Schottenheimer's "complexity for the sake of complexity" scheme with endless coverage checks & audibles & playbooks had polluted his completely & left him with an acute case of "paralysis by analysis".

In other words, they brought in the Zen Master of simplicity, and he's Peyton's OC. IE-Peyton ain't running an offense that only Quantum Physicists can figure out.

To say he could immediately step into coaching and be lights out is absurd. He could one day be great, but he's not running anything near the level of difficult as a McCarthy/Rodgers in Green Bay, or the Holy Grail of Football's version of "The Matrix/Architect" relationship: Brees/Payton.

I'll throw this your way, would you rank Terry Bradshaw or Ben Rothleisberger as better than Peyton?
