coach manning?

[tweezy32]

When Peyton retires. What do you guys think about him becoming a coach for Indy maybe helping out on offense or quarterback?

[Bluefire4]

I'm all for it if that's what he wants to do. it would help Luck greatly.

[crazycolt1]

No one could say with certainty but most players who require perfection in themselves don't deal with players very well. I have not heard any comment by Manning on what he wants to do when he does retire so any guess is as good as any other. I always thought he would make a good offensive coordinator but eventually most want a head coaching job. Who knows, he may step away and decide to spent the rest of his time with his family. If that's the case he may not want anything to do with coaching.

[Colts_Fan12]

Doubt he will want to but if he would I'd love it with Peyton helping Luck could be come the GOAT better then everyone

[GoColts8818]

Peyton has the money to buy a team if he wants too. I don't see him coaching.

[CR91]

only way he'll win another ring "low blow"

[Jules]

[akcolt]

He isn't coaching unless he has kids.... low blow or not it is his best chance at another ring. Denver is going to miss Moreno's pass protection Peyton will get hit more this year. I think that was a mistake shelling out all that money for big names and not trying to get Moreno back. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would have taken less to stay too

He'll be a coach or OC..but not with Indianapolis.....

 

...It would be in Tennesse or NOLA.....he's a southern boy

[Moncrief]

Too soon...

... or is it maybe too late

[markabrown96]

He would buy a team or join the media with Jeff Saturday

I think this is a crazy good post by you CrazyColt.....

 

Personally,  I think the demands of being a coach (negative) plus the demands of being a father/husband (positive) make it unlikely that Peyton will want to be a coach.    Way, way too many other opportunities for him...   and being a coach would cut into most of them.

 

I just don't see it.....   But, as always,  your mileage may vary!

I like your sense of fantasy day dreams.

 

 

Having your favorite player of all time come coach your team sure did work out nicely for the Packers back in the 70's.

 

Ask any old Pack fan how awesome of a coach Bart Starr was.

[MikeVander]

Peyton has the money to buy a team if he wants too. I don't see him coaching.

No he doesn't.

[John Dee]

Who individually really does?   Not many that are truly interested in the NFL.

 

But Manning could easily put together a group to buy a team.   The Bills are worth around 900 million, and are currently "rumored" to be up for sale.       Manning's worth is around 200 million....       Peyton will eventually be an NFL owner.  He will never coach in the NFL.

 

Heck I could see Peyton, Eli, and Brady all going in and buying a team...   And if they don't have enough...     I am sure Tommy's old lady would easily put them over the top. 

No he doesn't.

I don't know if he was anyone's favorite player of all time, but it worked out pretty well for Mike Ditka and the Bears.

[HtownColt]

Think he would go for a front office position over a coaching job,

[GoColts8818]

No he doesn't.

you missed the main point which is he won't be coaching. I should make my first part more clear. No manning doesn't have the money to walk in and buy a team by himself but he does have the money to put together an ownership group to buy a team if wants too. His wife has already been apart of such a group with the grizzlies in the NBA. I see manning either doing TV or buying into a team if he wants to be part of a front office situation. Coaches and GMs get fired and live very stressful lives. Owners don't so if you have the money to own you own.

[SLILLINGTON10]

I could see him being a GM or club president like Elway. I could even see him taking over as NFL commish.

[ColtsHappy]

I would LOVE to see him on the Indy sidelines coaching, but if I were a betting man, I would bet he ends up as a first rate sports commentator for one of the networks.

 

Retirement usually means more time for the family and coaching hours are even longer than most players spend.

 

Just my two cents....

[Narcosys]

Peyton has the money to buy a team if he wants too. I don't see him coaching.

doubtful. The raiders are the cheapest team at $825M...thats still to expensive.

[chad72]

Alright guys, there is enough Manning in the NFL General section. It gets old after a while.

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

 He has 21 Papa Johns Franchises & I believe Pizza not the Pigskin will be his not so distant future .

 

[Devildog]

He will start his own pizza franchise and call it Papa Manning's.

[throwing BBZ]

 Coach on the Field and the King of One & Done$.

 

 The Job doe$n`t pay enough.

[PrincetonTiger]

He will never coach

[John Waylon]

I highly doubt he becomes a coach. He's too perfection oriented. TV, or a quiet retirement with the kids. 

[BrentMc11]

 He has 21 Papa Johns Franchises & I believe Pizza not the Pigskin will be his not so distant future .

 

I believe some on here do not know his wife is part owner of the Memphis Grislies too.

 

Who in the world needs 16-20 days coaching?  That would be ignorant IMO....

 

Peyton...enjoy the kids and do whatever you want!!  

[BrentMc11]

 He has 21 Papa Johns Franchises & I believe Pizza not the Pigskin will be his not so distant future .

 

Some may not know that his wife is part owner of the Memphis Grizzlies too.

 

Enjoy time with your kids Peyton.....nothing like having fun with the kids!!!

 

Why would someone want to coach?  It takes 1-20 hours per day!!  Crazy for Manning to consider IMO.

I didn't know that,  Brent...

 

But you're right...remembering that his dad missed time with his grandpa.....and Archie devoted himself to his boys..

 

That's what Peyton and Eli will do once they can go home at night..

 

owners can go home at night and be home weekends...Coaches and players have to travel..

 

..I think Tennesse or NOLA will make Peyton a minority partner and let him be their 'ambassador'

[a06cc]

Peyton can't coach. He tried in 2011 with no success.

[jvan1973]

Peyton can't coach. He tried in 2011 with no success.

no, no he didn't. Just because he was there on game day and some during the week doesn't mean he was coaching. He had the rehab thing going on, perhaps you recall that

[sreylas937]

I see him doing a NFL show for espn or something... He has already shown he has the ability to be in front of the camera

[a06cc]

no, no he didn't. Just because he was there on game day and some during the week doesn't mean he was coaching. He had the rehab thing going on, perhaps you recall that

No he helped trying to coach the team. He had an interview with Phil and Jim. They asked him about what he was doing to help team. He can't coach because he is a hands on player that has to be on the field. Never know what the future holds though

[BrentMc11]

Peyton can't coach. He tried in 2011 with no success.

He has coached nearly every year he has been in the league.....other than the rookie blues  They just call the poor fella a QB.  

[BleedBlu8792]

I'll bet on him being a GM/VP/Owner before a coach.

[Big Tex]

When Peyton retires. What do you guys think about him becoming a coach for Indy maybe helping out on offense or quarterback?

 

I have read in the past that Peyton has offers to move right into the front office of at least one NFL team (not the Colts). I think he would be a great being in charge of football decisions.

[sweetsurrender]

If Manning coaches anywhere it will be in Denver for Elway. I really don't see him ever coming back to the Colts in any type of football capacity as long as Irsay is here anyways.

 

But I don't think he will be involved in the NFL anyways. Not enough money in it for him. He may try his hand at the movies.

[Valpo2004]

I doubt he chooses coaching but he could really do anything he wants to.  

 

He could put together a group to buy a team.  

 

He could enter the front office with a team like Elway did

 

He could be a sportscaster.  I've actually heard that a lot of networks want to sign him to be a sports caster the moment he retires.

I think he'd be a horrible coach. I don't think he has the patience or temperament for developing young talent. I wouldn't want him anywhere near a team in any capacity.

This is just my view, but I believe he's much too pompous and self centered to coach. I think he'd always want tho focus to be on him. He's just not the right type of guy to be an effective coach.
