Eli as a future coach or front office person.

Ira : 3/20/2018 10:40 am

While we don't know how many years Eli has left, he's getting to that point in his career where he has to think about what he's going to do next. I don't see him so much as a broadcaster. But I do, as just about everyone who knows anything about him, respect his intelligence and his knowledge of the game. I think he would make an excellent coach and would be equally successful in the front office. And I'd love to see him stay, in some capacity, with the Giants when his playing days are done.

Eli has made over 150 million in his career

do you really think he's going to work 60 hours a week breaking down film and coaching or live off his earnings?

I can't envision Eli Manning

as a head coach. He doesn't have the make up for it. And he'd never go from franchise legend to a position coach or coordinator.

What would he do in the front office? Aside from owning a team, I'm not sure where he'd fit.

While I agree that he'd be great

I can only picture him lying on the living room floor playing with his kids/grandkids and yelling at kids to get off his lawn

Eli will do commercials if anything and yacht around the world

It is obvious that Eli and Peyton will join forces and work together

i think you he could be good, kind of does it already

I really don't see

the players from this era who have made the truly big bucks (i.e. quarterbacks) getting into coaching or even front office roles. Yes you'll see ex-players like Vrabel get into coaching....but Eli probably made more last season than Vrabel made in his entire career.

Do you think he would stay in a back up role for a few years, say at a salary of 5-6 mill a year?

Not many better jobs than back up QB

but still fumbles to much

The Manning family is buying the Saints. Bank on it.

Eli will have a nice job.

GOD Forbid. I could put up with Eli, but I am so tired of "clever" Peyton.
Then again I was tired of Peyton in 2000

Eli is actually interested

David B. : 3/20/2018 2:30 pm : link

in stuff outside of football. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something else entirely. If you told me he was going to pursue neurology after his playing days, I could see it.

Can't see him being a regular in front of the camera as a football panelist or an analyst either.

I've been thinking of starting a discussion about this for the last

few weeks and I also think an interesting route is ownership in the Saints. Even prior to the passing of Benson, the ownership was in flux. Archie, Eli, and Peyton can put a group together to purchase the franchise and they can go back home and head up the front office.

Apple is definitely

front office material.

Just because a guy is

Gman11 : 3/20/2018 5:37 pm : link

intelligent doesn't mean he'll be a good coach.

Ray Handley was intelligent. Hell, McAdoo was the smartest man in the room, so I've heard.

Peyton will get back in...

I don�t think we will see much of Eli beyond jersey retirement, HOF, and championship reunions...
