Peyton Manning Addresses Thoughts on Coaching Russell Wilson, Filling In For HC Nathaniel Hackett in Denver Broncos

Following Nathaniel Hackett’s fallout with the Broncos country, the position of head coach remains vacant inside the locker room. As the hunt for a new candidate continues, fans turned their attention towards Peyton Manning, who boasts immense experience with the culture and traditions of the franchise.

During the offseason buildup this year, The Sheriff had closely worked with Russell Wilson and his team, strategizing plans for the campaign. As a result, he understands the situation and could help uplift the condition of this franchise.

In the recent episode of ManningCast, Peyton Manning rendered his thoughts on this matter. It turns out, the two-time Super Bowl champion has no intentions of venturing into the coaching world. When asked whether he would give it a shot, especially at the time of crisis, Manning dodged the question cleverly, saying, “I don’t think so” twice.

Fair enough for a former quarterback who has no experience coaching NFL teams. But from a fan’s perspective, the job profile suits his work ethic and passion for the game.

On Monday, fans got to know about Hackett’s split with the team, and CEO Greg Penner announced a major revamp under new coaching management.

“Moving forward, we will carefully evaluate every aspect of our football operations and make whatever changes are necessary to restore this franchise’s winning traction,” Penner said in the official statement disclosing the news. Indeed, the situation is quite dreadful, with a poor season record of 4-11 being placed at the bottom of the AFC West.

When Peyton Manning said he won’t make a good coach

There is no debate over the fact that Peyton Manning happens to be a great quarterback. In fact, one of the greatest of all time. But that doesn’t imply he would fare in a managing job.

While speaking to the NFL analyst Colin Cowherd in a past interview, the veteran mentioned that he doesn’t believe he’d make a great coach. As a player, he finds himself confident, but when it comes to training others, Manning has a lot to think about. One of the prime reasons is the pressure associated with the profile.

“I didn’t think I’d be a very good coach. I was good at calling plays when I was playing quarterback, I’m not very good when other people are playing quarterback,” he said in the interviews. However, the former athlete is a happy man exploring his broadcasting career alongside his brother for Monday Night Football.
