It has nothing to do with the money. You must have missed the interview where Archie Manning said Arch wasn't going anywhere. That was when Arch was being projected as the #1 pick in the 2026 draft.The way Cooper’s condition ended his playing career, I don’t blame Arch for trying to get paid as much as possible in college.
He is a Manning so there will be an enormous amount of pressure no matter where he goes. Arch didn’t go to UT or OM and dude is probably the face of college football this year.I can’t imagine him going to Tennessee. He will have enormous pressure on him and if he was a Vol it would be magnified 10 fold.
I was thinking about this the other day, there are still a lot of things that Marshall could do that Peyton never did if he comes here. Beat Florida, bring us our first Heisman? Peyton’s passing records are not untouchable (pretty damn hard, but not untouchable), and win a national title.Well, he IS wearing #16 so he is not exactly carving out his own legacy.
2030 is a LONG way away. JH might not even be here.
But, will he want to go somewhere and try and break his old man' records? That would show serious cajones and competitiveness.
OR, will he want to do like all the other Mannings and go somewhere new. 18 year olds are difficult to judge in that respect. Look at Arch. No matter where he is, it will be a pressure cooker so being a Vol probably doesn't realistically change much with that.
We shall see.... time reveals all...
No, they were in his final 5. He was there for Eli’s jersey retirement before the LSU game in 2021 (Kiffin’s 2nd year at Ole Miss) and Ole Miss was among the five programs he visited before committing to a school. (He also made unofficial visits there - as he did his other final 5 schools - during the prior summer in 2021.)Even before what they did to Ole Miss the Mannings HAAAATTTTED Kiffin. Pretty sure Arch never spoke with Ole Miss
LSU will likely have $10 Million/yr account set up set up in November this yearNo, they were in his final 5.

Thats your opinion. I imagine he is keeping all his options open. I think the Vols will be contenders and I certainly don’t think Marshall would shy away from the pressure. But I believe it will be entirely Marshall’s decision. Peyton will not influence his decision just like Archie didn’t influence Peytons. GBOOk, he still won't come.
That’s just what posters do.it blows my mind. They want everyone to go somewhere else and everyone to go pro or transfer. It’s like they’re so scared of being disappointed they prepare for it by speaking on it ahead of time. Just weak minded folks. Too scared and damaged to have hope.I don't get all the talking down about coming here. If he can play and reaches senior year wanting to come to Tennessee, then hell, come to Tennessee. What pressure would he feel from the fans? As long as he's competent and can battle for the starting job, who would get on his case? And if he's good, why on Earth would you want him going somewhere else anyway?
