POLL: Sean Payton in 2023 (Officially Going to Denver)

[Solar7]

The problem is the Saints have to release him for him to take another job and several teams want him. It’s the proverbial seller’s market.

I guess where I disagree is that Payton’s not going to go anywhere the Saints deem the best deal. He’s in control. What I feel is that it’s going to be like “be lucky you’re getting anything at all, Saints.”

Their alternative is no top coach and no compensation, like it was for us.

Payton was the head coach during Bounty Gate If he did’t know, he is incompetent. Hard pass.

If every coach who encouraged bounties was punished, there would be no NFL. The Saints were just a scapegoat example. Just like Brady and the Pats were made an example for changing pressure in footballs.

I think Sean took the year off to be with his new wife. She is a sweetheart and a smoke show. I saw him on a Monday in Idaho after they played on a Sunday, tossing drinks back, playing 18 holes, and swinging by to f with me about something. It wasn’t a matter of dropping the saints on their head. He has a very high opinion of Mrs Benson. That said, I’d be shocked if he took the job here. I hate the words “always” and “never,” but MB would need to (radically) change his ways if it were to be a possibility. Sean’s going to command big money too. He’ll be the number one candidate this off season.

But also he was there 15 years. He's close to the FO. I don't see them doing him dirty.

No team is giving a haul for a guy that already retired recently who's 60 years old.

Also if Michael is wary after Keims hard-charging ways, he’s gonna be real nervous about Payton.

Rumors about his drinking and more have been following him around for years.

Pete Carroll is 71 I think. This is a business and Payton is an asset in demand.

Yes but Carroll hasn't recently retired.

A coach who has shown a willingness to retire with 3 years left on a deal is a diminished asset. It's surely played a part in Arians only costing a 6th.

We will see I guess. Only takes one desperate team.

Arians was passed over multiple times for HC jobs. Payton was an HC for 15 years and won the NFC South 7 times. BA parlayed the Indy interim job into the Cards slot. When he went to Tampa there wasn’t a bunch of teams chasing him. It looks like 5 teams, at least, will be pursuing Payton. I admit I’m just guessing but typically in the NFL when multiple owners are chasing the same guy it becomes an auction and egos get involved. I may be high, but I bet I’m not way high.

 

[Jetstream Green]

For better or worse, I am already resigned to the notion that Adrian Wilson is the next GM, I cannot help but believe that with how Michael has him sitting next to him in the press box. I hope Adrian can then be his own man as he was when a player and override the Keim debacle by seeing those mistakes firsthand and learning from them

Can’t disagree, but the Cowboys are not firing McCarthy just yet & if the Chargers make the playoffs, they won’t be making any changes either.

Phone call:

MB: Sean, we are willing to give you total control. You will run everything, and then answer for it all to me in our weekly film study sessions.

MB: Hello, Sean? Hello?

Its going to take Payton truly being SOL and settling for the Cardinals.

 

[slanidrac16]

Could Payton and a new staff, with the current roster, turn this club into a winning team?

With a top three draft pick? I don't see why not, with a like-minded GM.

I guess it depends on what you consider the "current" roster. When we enter 2023, we'll have a lot of roles to fill. Bring in some guys he feels are a fit for his system, and I think so. This roster is very empty.

If you're asking if in a complete vacuum if he could win with the 2022 roster, no... but that's not really how football works.

Report: Sean Payton Has 'High Affinity' for Cowboys, Chargers; Cardinals Also Linked — Bleacher Report

If Sean Payton is going to return to the NFL next season as a head coach after a one-year hiatus, he reportedly has a hierarchy of teams he'd consider....

[Zalixar]

Gotta root for Chargers and Cowboys, maybe even a SB appearance will buy them at least a couple years.

And hopefully McVay decides to stay.

Still Colts/Panthers/Broncos, but I think we are ahead of them.

I’m not trading a top 3-5 pick for Payton or pretty much any HC with as many holes as this roster has.

I don’t think he’s advocating trading our 1st rd pick for Payton. I might actually consider it for McVay, Tomlin or Harbaugh. Crazy that they could’ve had Pederson had Bidwill fired Kliff last year.

McVay? Maybe. Idk. We don’t have the talent the Rams did when McVay took over.

Tomlin & Harbaugh? Nah. Great floor-raisers, but their ceilings aren’t what they used to be. Pretty sure they have a combined 1 AFC Championship appearance since 2013.

He would have absolutely won with the 2022 roster. Remove questionable decisions and play calls, add in accountability of players and a competent replacement kicker and he easily wins with this roster. It's not like the Cards went out and got thier doors blown off all season...lol
