This is purely a hypothetical food for thought discussion and no I'm not crazy or drunk..is just a thought.
Given that UT hired a virtually untested Lame Kiffin at age 34,who had only held a head coaching title at Oakland for part of a season...
I know this is a big stretch but what if UT hired Peyton Manning as head coach at age 40?
This will probably be his last year in the NFL,he will no doubt make a great coach some where after he retires,either a positions coach or even a head coach some day.I know a lot of people have already talked of him coming back and coaching at some point at UT
1.The man is a true student of the game,watches film like a mad man,even while he played at UT and is driven with a solid and competitive work ethic.
2.Is one of the greatest NFL qb's with just about every record in the book and a Super Bowl ring.
3.He played for UT and knows what it takes to play in the SEC and what UT fans and admin. expect.
4.Would most likely be able to recruit VERY well anywhere in the country and instantly improve recruiting even better than Jones has.
5.Would most likely assemble an awesome coaching staff.
6.Would inherit enough talent from Jones to instantly have an impact in the SEC.
Just food for thought..Can't be any worse than we have now
