Based on what? Oakland got two 1sts, two 2nds, and $8m trading Gruden. If the Saints can't land at least one 1st rounder for a Head Coach with Payton's resume, it is time to find a new owner and fire Loomis.
Everyone wants to bring up the Gruden trade. What other examples are there? Different times. Also, Loomis has a relationship with Payton and will likely not hold him hostage. We are getting nothing near that return if Payton returns to coaching.
