Would you take Peyton Manning as a first year OC?

[jfo89]

Absolutely, But I would rather have him as QB coach first. Cam could learn so much from Peyton.

[KillerKat]

Manning has really been an OC his whole career. So I say yes.

just have him do both. Josh McDaniels is both OC and QB coach for the Patriots, same thing with Sean McVay for the Redskins. Harold Goodwin is both OC and OL coach for the Cowboys. Practice is only a fraction of what NFL teams do, the rest spent in meetings, the classroom, etc.

And at practice, the OC is supervising all 11 starters, and of course Manning would pay special attention to the QB and WRs. And once Manning was made head coach, he'd be both HC and OC like Bill O'Brien with the Texans

Not sure I would want him to jump straight into being an OC.  At the same point though it would be tough to pass up someone that sees the game that well.  Imagine the effect he could have on Cam.

[Jeremy Igo]

I say no. Too much jealousy and envy will exist towards Cam, and he'll probably purposely put Cam in situations where he's most likely to fail.

Can't tell if serious.

[Lumps]

Can't tell if serious.

This is the huddle.

Of corse he's serious.

[Happy Panther]

I seriously doubt Manning would want to take a step backwards and be just an OC, he would rather retire first.

 

Yeah...If he stays in football it would be as an owner or GM. 

[Happy Panther]

As to the question I am guessing he would be like that math teacher in college who was brilliant but couldn't dumb it down enough for anyone but the smartest students.

[Mvp2014]

When he retires he isn't going to go into coaching. He will go to TV where he will make more money in 5 years than he could make in a lifetime of coaching.

Think about it.

He is smart, looks good on TV, and is widely accepted as one of the best to ever play the position.

He will be the NFLNs answer to Jaws.

Yeah that gigantic head will look nice on tv. Also he sounds like he has balls in his mouth 24/7.

[Davidson Deac II]

No way. I can't think of many star players that make good coaches.  They are usually better at doing it themselves, not at telling others what to do.

[ThinkAboutIt]

Answer: NO

Not unless I had an older QB. Wouldn't risk Manning coming in fresh off the field acting like every other QB should be just like him. Great players should probably start out coaching High School kids. You don't go from being the greatest (regular season) QB ever to being an understanding coach overnight, especially not by coaching "adults."

[Ace Deadbolt]

lol...yes. 

[Car123]

No

On top of that, it would be awfully hard to deal with "normal QB's" non perfection.

 

 

Peyton, as great as he was, didn't put much blame on himself when things went bad.
