Peyton As Coach?

[Jravol78]

Peyton is a great ambassador for this program who is paid obscene amounts of money for what appears to be having the time of his life . I don’t think he is enough of a masochist to want a job that basically never ends except when it one day could potentially end badly .

Not to mention the unfortunate coincidence that seems to find him unable to attend a Vol sporting event that allows him to witness a Vols win. What if the jinx is real ??

I'd love to hear our QB yelling "OMAHA" over and over again though. That'd be sweet music to my old eardrums.

I think VolBallGuy was talking about Lane Kiffin, not you. You're in full blown defense mode today...lol.

He does this very post he makes. He posts rambling insane post that makes no sense. Someone asks him about it or disagrees then he posts that everyone is against him and trying to make fun or hurl insults or to argue. Psych meds need upped

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.

There were significant ripple effects. The timing and lack of consideration for our program was unforgivable . Nothing in itself acts as a independent stand alone cause for a chain of events but his movements played a major role in our fall.

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.

He would no doubt, be a great coach, considering his devotion to studying the game, but he can make more money, and have a lot less stress, if he does not coach.

Paul Bain would make a better one!

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.

Dude I was talking about Kiffin.

I don't think he would be. The main reason is not many players have as much devotion as he had. He would get way too frustrated with those that don't.

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 he's having a lot of fun doing what he's doing and for a helluva lot of money. Even Saban-like money wouldn't be enough I suspect.

Heck yeah, he would be crazy to give up making commercials and hosting game shows to take this pressure cooker of a job and work all those hrs a HC job requires. I would think he had mental issues if he did.

 

[Jauan't Some?]

Has nothing to do with his legacy. He has dozens of projects he us involved in all the time. He has no time for coaching.

I’m saying this is a reason for the fan base to not want him to coach, not necessarily that it is a factor in his decision making.
