Sean Payton Officially Steps Away From Saints

[Growl]

You cannot blow your chance to take control of the division. Panthers have to come up with a QB. 

[CanesFanStan]

He'll be back. Either TV will be the first stop or he will find the best coaching place to go. 

Just further proof that the Saints are a mess and about to enter a rebuild. Tampa and Atlanta will be there pretty soon. We kind of have a head start on them...if we do it right. 

[Zaximus]

Maybe we're looking too much into this.  With the Saints trying to figure things out and the cap situation it may very well be just a break for a season they don't expect to do much in.  With how successful he's been the organization probably agreed and he'll come back after a break.

Payton was the main reason for the saints success these past 16 years, they are gonna go back to the gutter now 

How long was Brees there?

 

[amcoolio]

70% He's coaching the Cowboys next season

29% He's on TV for a year then coaching the Cowboys in 2023

1% The Raiders throw a ridiculous 100M/6 year contract and he's coaching the Raiders

[hepcat]

It's honestly a great time for him to step away and take a year off. Saints are in salary cap hell and need to clean up that mess and rebuild the roster. He gets to take a cushy TV job and have multiple job offers waiting for him when he decides to come back to coaching.

Think he takes a break this year then picks a team he wants like the cowboys. Saints have to be involved in the contract because he’s still signed with them until 2026 (?) Lots of saints fans im reading think he ends up in Dallas. That might be his dream job idk.

Glad he is gone. He is a weasel and shady as hell.  He is not a good guy.

In 3 years with Peyton Manning, John Fox's worst record was 12-4.  

It's been a QB league for some time.  I think we see that over and over again. 

Payton without an elite QB like Brees would have been fired long ago.  At least Pete Carroll can speak the truth.

I’m smelling Sean Payton to Dallas

Jerry Jones probably at Sean's house right now.   I still don't think he has told his coach he is safe yet has he?

I don’t think so either

We need a “what Saints fans are saying” segment right about now.

Dear Saints:  would you like to consider kicking the tires on a 2020 model? Barely used, low mileage, willing to sell cheap. Trade-ins accepted.
