There has been a lot of talk about Peyton Manning getting back into football through the either the broadcasting or coaching route, but that isn't something the former NFL quarterback thinks will happen. Manning has heard people talk about his coaching potential and how good he could be, but he isn't so sure that would end up being the case.
In an interview on Logan & Lewis on KOA Radio, Manning said:
“One thing, I guess, that I just don’t think that I’ll probably get into is coaching, if you will, in the NFL … Or, people say, ‘Why don’t you go back and coach in college’ or whatnot. You know, the truth of it is I’m not sure I would be as good of a coach as people think. Being a coach takes a certain skill and just because you were a successful football player doesn’t mean you’re a good coach. I like teaching. I like teaching football. I like teaching young quarterbacks, answering questions, paying it forward. So maybe eliminate that.”
Even if he feels like he isn't going to get into coaching right now, it isn't something that he wants to rule out completely. Manning also said he is excited to get sports up and running again and to have his kids back competing on the field:
“As soon as flag football opens up, I am coaching Marshall’s flag football team. We are the Titans next year. I’m excited for sports to open back up at the right time when it’s safe. So, I think maybe little league and Pop Warner and being an assistant on Mosley’s softball team and Marshall’s baseball team, I enjoy that.”
If Manning does end up want to get into coaching, there will probably be plenty of teams that want to jump on that opportunity to bring him in. But, for now, it's not on Manning's to-do list.
