Has Peyton Manning chimed in on the Heupel hire yet?

[Glockmeister]

Just curious if hes chimed in. I know he wasnt happy with the last hire. Thoughts?

I’m pretty sure Peyton is loyal, he’s gonna support whoever is at the helm.

Don’t remember him being negative on Pruitt. He doesn’t cast himself as a Haynesworth. If this one doesn’t work out, the usual suspects will say he participated in an Omerta ceremony with Heupel.

I know Heupel said he spoke to him on the phone before the press conference. Haven't heard Peyton make any public comments though.

Can’t win with any statement. Camps will translate as to their narratives.

Peyton's the man - but he supported Gase up in NY and reportedly would have here. Hopefully he just supports regardless.

 

[jhen713]

True...doesn't matter either way. He's already been hired. His opinion isn't going to change it at the moment.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Does not matter!

Peyton is waiting for Arch to commit to Tennessee, and then he will be named Co-OC and lead Tennessee back to the promise land.

I get it...I love Peyton as much as the next Vol fan and really truly do respect and honor him for what he did for this school and still does for this program.

But, taking the peanut out of the shell here - why does everyone value the opinion so much of a guy that has never coached, never mentored (to my knowledge), never recruited, or ever ran a sports organization regarding the HC at Tennessee?

I mean seriously, we aren't all tripping over each other to find out Al Wilson's opinion, or Condredge Holloway's opinion, or Schuler's, Colquitt's, etc. etc. etc....you see my point?

Its funny how Peyton's opinion is valued so highly by so many on VN and Tee Martin is trashed over and over again by many posters.

Peyton doesn’t coach or it would be the same.

Coach JH little boy can’t wait to throw football with Peyton on the field.

He was one of the people that White talked to during the process

Which is why he said he didn't want to coach at Tennessee

Peyton wanted us to hire Adam Gase. Who cares.

It's kinda crazy but Tennessee Volunteers won National championship in 1998 . Oklahoma won it's last national championship in 2000 we are very similar and we got there prized QB that brought them there last title.

I thought Peyton and Pruitt broke Cornbread together?

No he didn’t. You literally just made that ish up in your peebrain head

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Peyton's comment will be via commercial: "Nationwide is now selling Vol insurance. With every loss, you get a fifth of Jack.

Nationwide puts you on your side...."

 

[Bigorange123]

JH wasn’t coming here til Peyton agreed to throw football with his youngest at Neyland.

 

[Flipdaddy]

I couldn’t care less what Peyton thinks because we could’ve hired Randy sanders and he would’ve said it was the best hire for Tennessee. It just comes with the territory.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Yes. He did. It just so happened to not be here. But that doesn't have quite the same effect.

Peyton Manning recommended Adam Gase to Jets

I'm sorry. Peyton was a great player. Sucks at recommending coaches. Fulmer was at one time a great coach. Sucks at being an AD. Etc etc etc.

Santa Claus isn't real and VFLs are just people with flaws like everyone else. Hate to break it to you. Peyton recommending the worst coach in NFL history is reason enough to not care who he wants to hire... If not outright avoid who he wants to hire.
