Peyton Manning, the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback, applauds during a Ring of Honor induction ceremony for Tarik Glenn. The ceremony took place on Sunday, October 30, 2022, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, during a game against the Washington Commanders.
Peyton Manning has expressed his admiration for the new head coach of a certain team.
New Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan, who once served as Manning’s quarterbacks coach during his time with the Denver Broncos, has garnered high praise from the legendary quarterback himself. Manning believes that the Titans have made a “great hire” with Callahan at the helm.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled for Brian,” Manning expressed his joy to Jim Wyatt of the team’s official website. He fondly recalled their time together during his four years with the Broncos, emphasizing how Brian’s support was invaluable. Manning admired Brian’s unwavering dedication, sharp intellect, and remarkable character. The quarterback not only benefited from his coaching and guidance, but also cherished their daily interactions. Working alongside Brian was a true pleasure that Manning deeply treasured.”
“The quarterback room is a cozy space where three quarterbacks, along with two coaches, gather for meetings. Brian and I often found ourselves spending a significant amount of time in those quarterback sessions. I genuinely enjoyed his company and valued our interactions. Therefore, I am thrilled for him as he embarks on this new opportunity. I firmly believe that Brian is an excellent choice for the Tennessee Titans, and I have no doubt that he will give his all to the team.”
Manning has been a vocal supporter of Callahan as a coaching candidate, so it comes as no surprise that he would wholeheartedly endorse the Titans’ decision to hire him. Not only has Callahan worked with Manning, but he has also had successful stints with other talented quarterbacks such as Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow.
Replacing Mike Vrabel in Tennessee will be a challenging task for Callahan. However, Manning is confident that he has what it takes to step up to the challenge.
