Maybe the fact it is a football forum and topics relevant to football includes articles and comments about football coaching.
At least I didn't post about this guy who, despite my dislike for him, is still a hoot.

No amount of mediocre humor can make up for the years he set UT football back. He well and truly screwed us. Wouldn’t shake his hand . Granted he wouldn’t care.

Hey guys new to the forum. I think Peyton Manning would be a great choice as a coach and he would win the world series. I have no facts to back up he's a great coach and would win championships but he would and we should hire him now because he wants to be here. Just ask him.

He's blamed way more then he should be. He was around for one year. One year doesn't screw you as bad as this has been. He's a pos. We are well past it being his fault.

coaching is a JOB! For some--relatively few, it is a high paying job. Peyton does not need a job! Ever!

He signed with Denver just as Colorado decided to make pot legal. And he bought what? 30 Papa John's locations in and around Denver?

Peyton doesn't need a job. You got that right.

Caleb Calhoun is just doing what he does best. Suggesting stupid stuff, and seeing how many morons buy it.

Here's what Caleb Calhoun thinks. Unfortunately, I agree with him. But the whole thing is meaningless, as Peyton has said sever times he isn't interested in coaching at the U of T or anywhere else. He's smart, he knows if his teams stumbled, Vols fans would turn on him like a pack of rabid rats. It's the SEC fans way.

This is the hard truth of the matter. Manning, for all of his greatness, makes other players better because of how much he demands out of them. However, it also leads to a level of impatience that isn’t fit for somebody who is the head coach of a program or a general manager. A great example of this is Michael Jordan. As a player, Jordan’s demands made everybody else around him better, even turning Scottie Pippen into a superstar in his own right. However, that mentality has made him an awful GM as owner of the Charlotte Hornets. When you’re a teammate, you can simply demand perfection and push everybody else as hard as you can. However, as a head coach, you have to meet players where they are at and figure out how to motivate them in the best way. GMs have to accept players’ ceilings.

Peyton is now a TV star. Coaching is hard and often unappreciated work. Let him follow his own dreams,

If the guy coaches, he loses his star power with this fan base. If he didn't coach here, sour grapes; if he does ever coach here, he has to have the success of the fans will turn year after year. "He was a great player for us, but he never cannot beat Florida and will never win us a championship either."
He would be a fool to risk his legacy IMO. If he coaches, it's going to be a small level where nobody pays attention.

The point of my post was that I happened to agree with the article writer saying just because he is Peyton, doesn't translate to him being a quality football coach. There is no reason to get all holy and self-righteous. It should be pretty obvious that I see Peyton as the GOAT, Tom Brady not withstanding. However, unlike some, I don't hold Peyton on the level of Jesus. Those who prefer to are free to do that. I still don't think it automatically means he'd be a terrific coach despite being an elite QB. My post went no further than that, and yes, I tend to be a goofball in how I phrase things and what I consider humor. But here's the thing, VollBall, I don't ask, insist, or demand anybody like what I call humor. I do it to amuse myself.

I trust you're not implying Pey need anything resembling permission from me to pursue his own dreams. Beyond that, I agree. He has made, as I stated, repeated statements that he is not interested in being a coach. So if he wants to captain a Klingon bird-of-prey, or flit around the space-time continuum in a Tardis, or even spend his days BBQ-ing bratwursts for neighbors' kids that his business. Meanwhile, it doesn't remove a person's right to think he wouldn't be a great coach, great as he is in so many other ways. I understand Peyton is to many Vol fans' a Vol-god, but it doesn't justify attacking someone who happens to think he's fallible in some areas of endeavor. I'd like to try his bratswursts, though.

Yeah, but we ain't Peyton Manning. He retired from football, he was fresh out of his 30's and he's only 46. He said he didn't want to coach so I don't think he's going to coach, but if he wanted to coach I doubt he'd put much thought in the decision making on how many hours he'd have to work or how much money he'd have to make. He'd do it because that's what he wanted to do. Just my opinion.

I think Peyton is having the time of his life doing what he's doing. His whole life, up until he retired, has been nothing but football. I believe if he wanted to coach football, that would have been the direction he went when he left the NFL. He ain't gonna coach.

I don't know how many, but Bill Russel won MANY more titles than the great Michael Jordan. After establishing himself as one of the greatest ever, he took up coaching. In the end, what he proved is even if you are the best ever, you can't make that happen to those less talented around you!

Lane Kiffen decided coaching was for him after a younger more talented David Carr came in and bumped him down another notch! He just picked up the clipboard and the rest is history!
