Sean Payton stepping down as Saints HC

[Damba]

apparently he’s getting big offers to do tv

Saints are about to enter the offseason 61 mill over the cap and no franchise QB

Looks like he jumped ship at the right time

He and Justin Fields could be a scary sight. At least a worrisome one, anyway.

But yeah, if he's Aikman's replacement, hard to see him going back. That gig's way too cushy and way too lucrative.

Sean Payton nearly became Cowboys coach in 2019; could it happen now? - ProFootballTalk

Damn that is crazy. @dtownreppin214 y'all almost got him if not for Anthony Davis requesting a trade


The year was 2019. The month, January. The Cowboys had won 10 of 16 games, along with a wild-card contest against the Seahawks. They lost to the Rams in the divisional round, 30-22. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones contemplated an upgrade from coach Jason Garrett to Sean Payton. Jones wanted to pull the trigger. Payton did, too.

Things unfolded quickly. The Saints had played in the NFC Championship, losing to the Rams on January 20. That week, Jones quietly made his move.

It was a delicate situation, for various reasons. First, the Cowboys had a coach. Jones wouldn’t have fired Garrett unless he knew he could have gotten Payton. Second, league rules (specifically, the Rooney Rule) require a diverse and inclusive search. Third, Jones had to ultimately know that, after going through the motions of a search, he’d be able to get Payton.

So a deal was worked out, behind the scenes. The Saints would have allowed the Cowboys to hire Payton. The Cowboys would have compensated the Saints for the rights to Payton’s contract. And Payton would have signed a new contract with the Cowboys.

It was ready to go. It was happening. It was locked, and it was loaded. Then came Monday, January 28. On that day, New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis announced he would not sign another contract with the team, and he requested a trade. (In July, the Pelicans traded him to the Lakers.)

Gayle Benson owns both the Pelicans and the Saints. Saints G.M. Mickey Loomis was, as of January 2019, the executive vice president of basketball operations with the Pelicans. Once Davis made clear his intention to leave New Orleans, Loomis told Payton that Loomis couldn’t be the common thread between a pair of such high-profile Louisiana departures.

That ended it, just like that. The Saints were no longer interested in essentially trading Payton to the Cowboys. In September, Payton signed a new contract. That deal has three years left on it.

Gotdamn I just read this a little more carefully. fukk street clothes.

He is extremely close with the Jones family. Cowboys reporters describe it as a “love affair” and that he wants to coach in Dallas. They are adamant about it - fact not speculation.

You realize he’s kept his home in Dallas all these years and spends a majority of his time in the off-season here.

I’ll believe it when I see it

No cap space, no certainty at QB. They’re gonna hire a black coach, watch. Bounce him in two years.

Yup look at cowher, Jimmy Johnson and dungy

they never came back


Sean Payton is 58 he probably enjoyed the year off he was suspended

Jimmy Johnson came back to coach the Dolphins after leaving Dallas.

Dungy's son's suicide had a lot to do with his decision to not return to coaching.

Cowboys trading a first for his rights?

Would be well worth it.

Tell that to your bytch ass linebacker who hurt him
Matter fact im calling PETA on him and his punk ass horse

It was an accident. But that’s Devin Whites fault cuz he’s a poor form tackler

Plus, y’all paid us back in full with that unnecessarily low hit that ended Godwin’s season, no?

Jameis is a free agent and they don’t have money to resign him…he gone

Sucks that Jameis got hurt and didn't get a chance to show teams he's a viable starter. I think he'd be an upgrade in Tennessee.
