Archie Manning Gives Florida Thumbs Up on Will Muschamp Hire

Filed under:

NEW YORK -- It's not often that you get a chance to speak with Archie Manning and have the conversation sway more toward college football and away from the performance of his sons Eli Manning and Peyton Manning.

That's exactly what happened recently when FanHouse had a chance to connect with the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

Manning, now 61, currently acts as the chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, a partner in the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year campaign.

As part of this campaign, Manning has worked with Liberty Mutual in honoring the 25 finalists for the 2010 Coach of the Year Award, the leading college football coaching honor.

Among the finalists are Gene Chizik (Auburn University), Mark Dantonio (Michigan State University), Rich Ellerson (Army), Chip Kelly (University of Oregon), Nick Saban (University of Alabama) and Mike Sherman (Texas A&M University). The winner will be announced during the BCS national championship game between Auburn and Oregon on Jan. 10.
