Manning vs. Tebow: Good or Bad hiring decision?

Send to Kindle

Peyton Manning is in and Tim Tebow is out.

First, when making a good hiring decision, a boss must ask this question: Can I work with this person? Both Tebow and Manning have solid reputations for being workable, and in this era of cranky celebrities, this is point for both of them.Was this a good hiring decision? Only time will tell.

Second, the next question is can they do the job? While Tebow has been somewhat inconsistent last year, so has Peyton Manning. While Manning has experience on his side, he is also injured and set in his ways. What happens if he gets injured again?

Third, is the candidate passionate about the job? Manning is a little crusty around the edges. He is older and he was a leader in the lockout with the NFL. Tebow loves the game of football. He is energetic, passionate and needs some coaching.

My vote? Hire Manning to train Tebow. Now you have experience coupled with passion and healthiness. That is a winning combination.

    Score!!!! What a great idea! How come they didn’t think of that! Hi Beth! :-)

  • Steve Caldara says:

    Great topic, Beth. However, I think trading Tebow was the only thing to do. Manning needs to be focused. Tebow needs opportunity with a team that will structure an offense around his style of playing. SC.

    Concise and to the point. Good job!

  • Tina Ramey says:

    Sounds like common sense to me! In that scenario, I would be concerned how Tebow would feel being bumped back down to 2nd string after such an emotional year as the starter… like the interim manager being put back down to the employee role when the new manager is hired in.
