My guess would be that the Sheriff takes some time off while also kicking the tires on a couple NFL front office jobs.

*Don't think its gonna happen, but I will always hold out hope that he would come back to his Big Orange home away from home and be lead recruiter and QB coach. He would have his pick of any QB in the country.

I'd love to see what he does in the front office of an NFL team, but would kill to hear him broadcast games. We have too many Troy Aikmans and not enough Cris Collinsworths.

This actually makes sense. Great players seem to flock to the broadcast booth. But legendary players seem to flock to the front office. MJ, Larry Bird, Elway, Peyton.... just to name a few.

Obviously, not every all-time great takes a front office job, but it seems to be preferred over broadcasting.

Well he's a rich cat, so he doesn't need money at this point in his life.
Maybe he returns to New Orleans to be the head coach at Isidore Newman School where we would go on to win 7state titles before retiring to the links.
:yes:

Then of course he could buy Papa John entire pizza empire and hire Eli as the spokes person.

I don't think he would have any pick of a HS QB though. That is laying it on a little thick.

Perhaps...

But any HS QB worth their salt would certainly give the idea a whole lot of though. The chance of a lifetime to be able to learn from the GOAT?

Name me one kid in HS that wouldn't be hard pressed to say no to that offer.

You sir are :loco:. If you think a kid would turn down the opportunity to learn from the greatest then you must have not played sports. There would be kids on D that would love to just lean from him and soak up the knowledge he could give. Hell, he could coach DB's and probably get the best in the country.

Aside from just his fame and the instant credibility he would have with HS QB's, he would also have unique access to them and at an early age through the Manning Passing Academy. That is a premier and prestigious camp for HS QB's. I know Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick both attended when they were in high school just to name a couple. I don't think it's laying it on thick at all... but having said that - it's not going to happen.

I just hope he enjoys retirement and his family for awhile -- and takes in a few Vols games

At least give the lad a seat on the UT Board of Trustees. Then he could scream "OMAHA" at Jimmy whenever he felt like it.

I jest. I hope that Peyton finds a more formal leadership role with our fair University. I think it would be very beneficial. Can't he do that as well as be a front office man?

CBJ's offensive philosophy does not correlate with Peyton's game. The dual threat QB we need at UT just doesn't jive with Peyton and the pro style drop back passer. Peyton would be better off at USCw if he wanted to develop QBs.

I'd be completely shocked if Peyton didn't have the ability to tell you all about how to employ a DT QB. While that isn't his style, the man probably has more collective knowledge about the QB position than most will ever know.

Holy crap I can't stand Collinsworth. He sounds like the Disney character Goofy.

Goofy?

I admit he doesn't have the most appealing voice, but his commentary is top notch. He breaks down the Xs and Os better than anybody.

You make a good point there.

I don't think that it's too much of a stretch. Position coaches are just that. Which is why a lot of position coaches are, fairly often, recent ex-players who can just focus on their position. They get to focus on teaching specific skills, technique, how to study film, and all the other intangibles of that position. Head coaches and coordinators have to worry about a lot of other things not pertaining to practice field. IMO, I think Peyton is so technical that he probably would excel at teaching the skills and preparation needed to be a great QB at any level, even if he wouldn't be great at "running a team," so to speak.

Peyton Manning is a front office guy. I never saw him as a guy sitting in a recruit's living room trying to sell them on a college by talking about his glory days. I'm sure that feels like a bucket of ice water on the head of a number of Vol fans but it's the truth.

PM not able to effectively coach a DT QB. He could make an All American out of me. Well that's a stretch but if you don't get the point then you probably have a problem with....

Jump higher Vols.
