I've always respected PM. I also heard more than once that he was like a coach on-the-field as a QB for Indy and Denver.

I highly doubt he could immediately become a head coach with no coaching experience (that I know of) but how could this happen? Would be even be interested? Maybe he could start as an assistant/QB coach and move towards an OC position?

Does anyone else see this as a possibility?

why would he want to coach a team that couldn't get him a Heisman, or win a championship with the supposed GOAT qb?

He will make more money for a couple of commercials than he ever will coaching the Vols.. Plus it could ruin his legacy with even just one bad game

Probably will continue to have great endorsement deal$. I seriously wonder if he has any interest in coaching.

With all the stores he owns, he probably does them for free.

Manning is the NFL's highest-paid endorser, making $12 million a year.

Manning also owns 21 Papa Johns franchises around Denver, in the legal-weed state of Colorado: "Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes," he said in 2014.

Peyton is on the fast track to a cushy front office job. Nobody with his college and pro legacy is going to get down in the sewer of the coaching profession.

There are literally only a handful of pro and college coaches that have been successful head coaches for 10+ years. Peyton isn't going to get involved in coaching.

He'll do something similar to Micheal Jordan or John Elway. Sip cocktails in a heated booth for some team.

I just wonder if other things motivate him besides money. I could easily see him as a great OC/QB coach at the minimum.

I think he would like it, but I've heard that he as well as Eli want to be in a position to form a group that will one day purchase the Saints after Tom Benson dies.

Off hand, I can only think of two Hall of Fame coaches that have gone and coached. Mike Munchak and Mike Singletary. And they both bombed horribly.

The coaching profession is typically reserved for the guys who couldn't cut it in college or the pro's and parlayed their lack of playing days into a long career of packing their bags every few years for some assistant job. And after 20+ years or so, they finally get a shot. Look at Saban. He was some piss ant DB with no chance at a NFL career. He had a massive chip on his shoulder to prove himself. Now he's one of the most successful head coaches in college history -- maybe the best.

Successful players will rarely get down in the muck of head coaching. It just demolishes their legacy. The guys who coach typically don't yet have a legacy and have nothing to lose.
