Jets may be interested in P. Manning for OC; DAL should be bidding

I’d pass on Manning, unless he has a vision of how to let Dak use his feet

GM would be a better position for the Boys!

Just a quick reminder that very few HOF talents make great coaches in any sport. It’s hard to communicate and transfer greatness to others.

It’s usually the guys who had to outfight and outthink their more talented comrades just for the opportunity to play along side them that excel in coaching. That’s a teachable skill.

To the tune of the Nationwide jungle: Peyton is our OC nowwwww

Peyton was a pure pocket QB who ran a pro-style offense. How would that help Dak and this offense? Might as well have kept Linehan if one is interested in Peyton Manning as an OC.

The NFL is a "Pro-style" league y'know?!

Manning has one of the greatest offensive minds of all-time, with the talent to be a pure pocket QB. I'd give him a shot, and if I were Jerry, I'd pay a premium to do it.

Wasn't there a multi-year stretch with the Colts where he was basically calling his own plays?

Yep. He always called 2 plays and the "Omaha, Omaha" call determined which they ran. However, it's one thing doing it on the field yourself and doing it through others. It's why very few outstanding, HOF caliber players fail as coaches/managers. The only way that works is if they do some cheesy crap like McVeigh did by having the offense get to the line quick and then calling in the play into the QB after the defense has shown it's hand.

If P. Manning is interested in the job, and I'm Jerry, I'm giving him what it takes to get him in DAL.

Agree 1000x. Manning was an offensive genius at reading defenses and studying tape and tendencies and a notorious film junkie. He would undoubtedly succeed as an OC.

Why would any team make Peyton Manning their OC when he has never coached anywhere at all? Maybe hire him as QB coach 1st and let him get some experience under his belt coaching before you just up and make him OC. Any team making him an OC for his 1st coaching gig is making a mistake

For now, but it's changing more to a college/Big 12 game, just at a higher level. I, for one, don't like that, but it is what it is. There're a number of reasons chief of which that offensive players are forced to play immediately and are really unprepared for the pro game so they have to run an offense they can handle. Secondly, fantasy football has created a generation of fans that value high scoring games over a tight defensive game. The Cowboys would be picked apart today if they won a playoff game 5-0 like they did in 1970.

Just like the networks, everybody would. But the guy has made over $230 million in salary alone during his playing career, and likely $50 million more in endorsements. Name me the last guy that made money like that who said "let me get into coaching, working 12-hour days all year long, for less money."

He definitely has the mind for it, but not the desire. And again, why would he? He might get into ownership somewhere - likely the Titans - but he's not getting into coaching.

Peyton doesn’t have the money to get into ownership. If he took all the money he made in his career, doubled it, and took out taxes he couldn’t even buy 10% of an nfl team.

If he was such a genius why could he only muster 1 “real” Super Bowl win

Don’t know why manning would want that job
Manning is a pure pocket passer who is extremely smart. If it was OC for a pure pocket passer it would be a great fit

Not as much today, ya know?!

There are different styles that work.

Manning is a great regular season stat padder. But when defenses actually plan for him in the playoffs he’s very very average.

He’s not even a top 10 all time QB from the past 20-30 years.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this board...and this board is full of stupidity

Man...Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are so similar in their playing styles..what a great fit

Funny how 6+ posters agreed with my comment, but none have liked yours yet. Why is that?

Keep talking ol' great Stupidocious.

Rayman70 · Jan 19, 2019

hes too smart to get into coaching,especially for Jerry.

I think Peyton Manning would make an excellent coach.

I am a bit surprised he would want the job though. He must really miss the game.

That’s my thought too. I feel an oc job for one of the best ever is odd.

CPanther95 · Jan 19, 2019

Jerry would never bring him to Dallas after he dumped all his Papa John's restaurants.

tyke1doe · Jan 19, 2019

What has Peyton Manning done to step right into an OC job?
Great players don't always make great coaches.
Besides, if you give him Dak as a pupil, he might just quit after one season.
