Trying to keep it rolling without Payton and everyone else is the WRONG move imo

Has any coach in the history of the NFL taken off a year voluntarily and come back to the same team? That's not happening.

What happens if DA goes 14-2. Sorry Dennis, Payton's back.

Not an NFL coach that I can think of but Phil Jackson did it in the NBA and came back to win two more championships.

He even wrote a tell all book criticizing Kobe when he was off. But. That’s Phil Jackson. You can do that sort of thing when you have 9 rings (at the time).
