Head Coach Best Guess Final Answer

[Card'em]

Three to four hours for the interview is reasonable, but seven hours is more than just an interview. Bidwill either struck a deal with Payton or they're really close to finalizing it. At this point, I'd be really surprised if Sean Payton isn't the next coach of the Cards.

Unfortunately, being really surprised at developments on Hardy tends to happen with some regularity.

Deal has been agreed upon and now they are just taking a couple of days to make sure everyone wants to move forward

Outside of hope, what is this based on?

 

[Billy Bob]

Sean Payton. That has been my feeling since the Cards/Falcons game when they gave Payton that game to pick, he looked very uncomfortable picking against the Cardinals and there was Terry Bradshaw patting him on the back pulling him through it. To me, that body language said he really wants to be here!

You skipped my 1st sentence. It's a feeling and I wouldn't be surprised if..........

Payton, I think it’s a done deal and they are putting the finishing touches on draft pick compensation and waiting for him to finish up this weekend with his tv stuff.

How long did the Flores interview last?

Maybe he wants Kyler to feel included.

Agree! Bidwill said all along he wants Kyler to have input. Maybe the deal is done in principal pending Kylers opinion. Another holdup would be who is locked in as his coaching staff.

Plus, they need to make a splash on the Fox broadcast. Hopefully the decision is no later than tomorrow cause this is kill’n me.

Probably 40 minutes (the time allowed for a zoom call on a free account).

I will say this, for a franchise which is able to exert so much control over information from leaking out, it behooves them that they are not likewise able to extend that same kind of professionalism towards winning lol

They definitely aren't letting wins leak out.

Save the petition. I never have or will.

And, yes, I'd be overjoyed if the first-ballot Hall of Famer joined his former H-C as QB Coach.

One would have to be congenitally dim not to see the advantage of this association with KM.

Nope you wanted Drew Brees instead of Sean Payton but you probably forgot to edit that in. #Madden

I said weeks ago that in lieu of hiring Payton, who I doubted would be available, they could tap into his offensive approach by hiring Brees as QB Coach and pass game coordinator. At NO POINT did I say they shouldn't hire Payton, and I've simply added that a combo of Payton and Drew could be just what the Doctor ordered.

That said: Don't let having all of the info at your disposal crimp your need for childish drive-by smears.

I am all in on Payton but have been disappointed too many times. Think we get Flores after a strong push to get Payton which falls short.

With 4-5 days of Payton hoopla, anyone hired after this will be anti-climatic and a bit hard sell to most of us.

The fact its been a couple of weeks and it's all very quiet tells me they are working hard on Payton.

I think there is mutual interest but it's a lot of plates to spin at once and it might not happen.

Agree 100%. Thanks for reminding me of that. I recall it vividly. And I‘m still of the belief that Michael & Payton hooked up on 12/31 at the MI/TCU semifinal game.

That would be tampering! ;-)

Founded or unfounded, 56% of this forum sure does have a lot of faith in Mikey Bidwill

Watch the video of Bidwill & Payton leaving together from the facilities, getting in the same car, didn't look to me like it was on bad terms at all. I think a deal had been tentatively reached & Sean was heading to Dallas to have a talk with Kyler. I'll be completely shocked if it isn't announced tomorrow or Monday.

I voted other because I have absolutely ZERO faith in the organization.

Fair assesment

This is why I think it will be known, one way or another on the fox pregame show tomorrow.
