Would you rather have draft picks....or Sean Payton back?

Picks and time to move on.

Payton was great with the offense but flawed overall as a head coach/GM hybrid. You'll stay competitive if he finds a QB, maybe things fall into place and another championship....

...but I think more likely not. Competitive, maybe playoffs but no championships. League and refs hate him too much, and his decisioning and game planning in the big games has not been great in recent years. Last legit chance we had to win a championship Zimmer crushed him coaching wise and we exited playoffs early.

If I am Loomis and my job is also to consider running the team as a business that has to maximize revenue, I might then take Payton back. Energy and fan interest would be restored and competitive play down to the final games keeps seats filled and tickets sold...
