Former Tennessee star and current Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is a favorite son in Knoxville, and he returns to campus often to work out with the football team, watch his alma mater play and he continues to give back to the school via his scholarship endowment.

On Thursday, Manning was a guest on Dan Patrick's national radio show and Manning was asked about the possibility of coaching when his NFL career is complete.

Manning said that it is unlikely that he coaches, but if he were to roam the sidelines in some capacity he would do it at one school.

"Quarterback coach, I would to at Tennessee...head coach, no." - Peyton Manning on the possibility of coaching someday. @dpshow — Paul Pabst (@PaulPabst) September 3, 2015



Whenever the football coaching job at Tennessee has opened in recent seasons, the name Jon Gruden is always brought to the forefront. Gruden was a graduate assistant at UT, met his wife there and now has a son that attends the school.

The fan base is enamored with current head coach Butch Jones and the job he has done since taking over in Knoxville. But could you imagine the Big Orange Frenzy that would get stirred up if Gruden were the head coach with Manning overseeing the quarterbacks?

Goodness, gracious.
