You can't have a player just retire and come in as a coach. There is a process. Now I realize Peyton has played like a coach his entire career calling his own plays and whatnot, but just because you were a really good player doesn't automatically equate to you being a good coach. You typically come in as a quality control guy, learn the ropes, then move your way up. That's just not realistic. Coaches put in twice as many hours as the players do. Well the good ones anyway.
