Picked Reich over Moore. 

Moore almost got this job. 

 

He was a finalist last year in miami, I suspect he is lights out in interviews and its only a matter of time before someone gives him a shot

I don’t think they are considering Payton anymore. The comp to the saints is too big a pill for most teams to swallow let alone a division rival. I think the interview was more feeling out and conversation than an actual interview 

I wasn’t saying that, I had read from insiders that all the teams were waiting for the Payton domino to fall.

I wonder how much Ben McAdoo played into the interview because Moore and him worked together in Dallas in 2021

Poor payton, he has to go back to his 10 million fox job instead of coaching in the nfl

[Mr. Scot]

Summing up the process...

- Nine candidates interviewed

- Wilks given a shot

- No to Sean Payton and several youngsters

- We're the first team to make a hire

- And we have our first offensive coach in team history

Whew

Next up: Hiring assistants

Yea his interview was so good, it almost made Tepper and this search committee back off its experienced HC only mantra they've had since nearly the beginning.

Payton is turning out to be way less important than he thought he was.

Do you think he’s doing this to feel the waters for next time?

Not sure,  would make sense if the team wanting experienced hc at a coordinator spot for anyone Young and first time hc is true...which seems to be the case.

Hell no to giving up what it would cost to trade for either of those guys (especially Rodgers)

You like suffering huh?

 

Let me guess continue the average vet QB trend Bridgewater, Darnold, Baker, and wait for it Derick Carr or Jimmy G!

I've heard he really wanted the Broncos or Panthers jobs. 

Broncos owners like Paton and didn't want to give him up, definitely the case in Houston. Dunno about Arizona cause that's weird and reeks of desperation on Payton's side. 

Panthers probably balked at the combination of cost per year plus control after the Rhule debacle. Also the off field concerns with Bounty gate but more importantly the pills. 

 

Think he's just being turned down for one reason or another every where he's interviewed

I think he genuinely believed he could have whatever team he wanted and basically just ask for a blank check.

(kinda like Harbaugh last year)

Aaawww boy
