So honestly how will you feel if Payton eventually ends up coaching the Cowboys?

If it's because he has a new much younger wife who might want children and doesn't like New Orleans, and might not want him coaching, I get it. TV is a much easier gig for a man with young kids, and Payton knows because he's been there ... On the flip side, I won't be surprised if and when he coaches there. I'll hate the Cowboys even more if he coaches them, but if it's going to happen, let it happen now and get a No. 1 and No. 2 for him and move on to trying to become a better team in both the short- and long-term future.
