What did Peyton say about Kiffin? I missed the interview but heard DP tease the last segment by saying they would react to Peyton's comments on Kiffin.

Patrick asked him how the conversation would go if he met Kiffin. Peyton took the high road and said it would probably be a short conversation. He went on to say he wished Kiffen success and thought he'd do fine at USC. You could tell he was being politically correct and avoided conflict though.

I agree. He would be a great OC, he would be in every DC's head.

He doesn't think he would. He mentioned how he'd called some plays from the sideline for Sorgie, but they never work. He said he's only good at calling the plays when he's the QB. lol

You'd be surprised. Joe Montana had a commercial come on last night where he throw a ball and my 11 year old son commented, "yea, right." My wife and I explained that he was like Peyton 15 years ago. My son then said, oh, I've never heard of him.

1. I don't see Peyton as a full time TV announcer, maybe guest every now and then, but definitely not full time. You are talking about going from making 8 million a year as a player to less than $250,000. I'd say he'd say "thanks but no thanks". Marino and Montana are from a different time period. (No they aren't that much older) In their prime the pay scale was a fraction of what it is now, they are working because they still need money.

2. I can see Peyton coaching somewhere. I'm not sure if he'd want to listen to the bellyaching here, but I can see him coaching. The money although less than a player, in the SEC is getting pretty close.

That said, I'm not sure how his personality would work out as a head coach in College. Peyton is a perfectionist, and that's well and good except he expects everyone around him to be a perfectionist as well. I'm not knocking the guy just saying that at times it seems to me he rubs the other players the wrong way and sometimes they accidentally slack up let him find out he can't do it all alone. I saw it happen at UT a time of two when he was here and it cost us chances to play for championships SEC and National (Memphis 1996)

It's a chance you take as head coach. It depends on his willingness to take the chance of failure overriding his past success. Do you take a 4. something million dollar contract to come to UT and coach football with the chance that you might fail and be ran out of town after being the top QB in school history, a superbowl champion, etc. Or do you take the safe way out and spend the rest of your years making a pittance here and there doing tv, occasional sponsorships, and managing the millions you socked away during your career as a pro quarterback.

i see Peyton moving back to New Orleans when he retires and after some time away from the game(except for occasional guest spots announcing) he will be an unpaid assistant coach at his old high school.

I have not listened to P. Manning ruminate enough to have an opinion as to whether I would enjoy him as an announcer. Does he have the charisma to pull it off? Just being smart and having been a great QB is not enough. The analyst's chair may not be his next career move. That said, I cannot see him as hfc at any college team.

He does great in any speaking roles I've ever seen him in (commercials, SNL, skits, etc)... Who knows, but yeah, no way is he a coach at UT in 15 years

He's got natural ability in front of a camera that you either have or don't have. No teaching it.

If he chose to go that route, he'd be a treat to listen to I think.

I guess that I most enjoy watching guys with a snake oil salesman type personality. My favorites are Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson. Peyton seems to be more of the straight man. I guess I could see him as a play-by-play guy, but why would he want to do that?

For every color-guy there is a fairly straight laced guy. I can see him with Michael Strahan. Those 2 seem like they'd have a good chemistry with each other.

Manning has a better personality than Marino or Long.

I personally think that Peyton would make a great coach ,but lets get honest. He wouldn't just become the head coach at UT as soon as he retires. He'll have to spend at the least 10 years working as an assistant starting from being a Quarterbacks coach and working his way up to Offensive Coordinator. That probably wouldn't be enough. He'd probably need to be a head coach somewhere else before he would even coach at UT.

I think that he'll end up becoming an NFL/College Football analyst. He has that perfect personality to where he would excel on TV. Plus, he has a degree in Communications. He already has plenty of experience of appearing in front of a camera ,so I am sure he is more than ready to become an analyst whenever he retires.

Peyton needs to start cranking out the next generation of Tennessee QBs. Shouldn't have to wait for retirement for that!

I'm not sure how well Manning would recruit but I imagine he would be just fine. If nothing else, I bet he could recruit some stud Quarterbacks. He would be an amazing QB coach and probably even an OC. The way he can read defenses, he would surely be successful.

He will wind as an analyst at ESPN....maybe an announcer.....he would make one hell of an offensive coordinator though....

Positives:

1) Insta-credibility.
2) Has big picture understanding of the game and I think he would do well explaining it to fans.
3) Personable.


Negatives:

1) His southern drawl sometimes is so slow it is donwright annoying. He'd have to hyper up a little bit. Or at least drink 3 redbulls prior to each tv segment.
2) Not sure how he would handle the inevitable criticism.
3) Would cringe every time co-host said, "Yeah, but he never beat Florida."
