"I really enjoy what I’m doing right now," Peyton said on the "New Orleans.Football" podcast. "More maybe than I thought. If the right situation presented itself, Mike, I would definitely be interested. And there’s no utopia, if you will when it comes to teams. If I felt like it was the right situation, I would have an interest in that."

Even though Peyton is enjoying his new job away from the game, the Super Bowl champion coach still appears to have the itch to be on the sidelines.

"This past weekend’s game versus Tampa was the first time that I had a version of FOMO [fear of missing out]," Payton continued. "I was jealous of everyone that was there. Including random Bruce Arians on the sideline."
