Sean Payton Interview On The Dan Patrick Show (1/27/2022) (1 Viewer)

[Saint Jack]

New today.

 

[Brandon13]

I feel a little better. I think he's genuinely excited about the TV thing and if it takes off he'll go from there.

Change is good. Coach was ready for change, a new grind.

I was going to say the same thing, he won’t coach for at least 5 to 7 years if he is good at what he does.

 

[Saint Jack]

I was going to say the same thing, he won’t coach for at least 5 to 7 years if he is good at what he does.

If he stays in the booth for two years, he ain’t coming back, especially if he gets starts to call the Game of the Week.

I was going to say the same thing, he won’t coach for at least 5 to 7 years if he is good at what he does.

If he doesn't coach for 5-7 years, he's not coaching again. He'd be 63+ by that time.

If he doesn't coach for 5-7 years, he's not coaching again. He'd be 63+ by that time.

I think Dick Vermeil was around that age when he left broadcasting to coach the Rams. He was out of coaching for 10-15 years before that.

 

[SWJJ]

I think Sean will do great in TV, he doesn't "talk horrible" even though some here think that.

 

[DaveXA]

I think Dick Vermeil was around that age when he left broadcasting to coach the Rams. He was out of coaching for 10-15 years before that.

Yeah, but then Vermeil was more the exception than the rule. Time will tell I guess.

 

[guillermo]

Great interview. I see Sean really excited about the TV gig.

He can be the next Jimmy Johnson or Jon Gruden.

And another interesting angle, being on a national TV show will keep Sean a national profile and people may discover him and add or change to their perspective of him. Being on TV will increase his chances of getting to the Hall of Fame, that is free advertising for him. He could turn from a great NFL coach to a national figure.

He is going to coach again and it's not gonna be 5-7 years down the road, the tv thing will be a brief breather for him but it will be very brief...He is listening to Parcells about not staying in one place too long as Bill has always advised

 

[gavinj]

Yes, that was a great video. It’s absolutely clear that he has no interest in coaching in the next few years. He looks pretty exhausted to me, honestly, yet happy and relieved to be done with it for a while. Onward and upward, coach.

 

[MV2]

The question nobody has asked that I wish they would is, "If you went back to coaching, would you want to coach the Saints or someone else?" I would like to hear his answer to that.

 

[Saint Jack]

My one counter argument is that once you coach at one place for sixteen years, you can’t use the Parcells bit about staying too long. Parcells longest tenure was eight years with the Giants with four year trips with the Cowboys and Patriots with a three year stint with the Jets. His entire career amounted to nineteen years. Sean’s entire career with the Saints almost equals Bill’s four stops.

Considering Sean left and he gets advice from Bill all the time I would have to say you are reaching. The fact that he did stay 16 years and Bill doesn't believe in staying in one place too long would suggest he did just that, advise him to take a minor break and move on. Sean is going to coach again, if you are buying the tv gig thing as some kind of permanent retirement from football that's not happening. Like I said the Saints and the fanbase need to move on. Some are trying to hang on to him like some obsession with an ex gf
