Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

Then again those comments about trading for Taysom were made back in October when it looked like the team was trying to form an identity under DA and finding a way to gel and compete at the beginning of the season, while Payton was creating his own lane in the media as an analyst. It’s December now with the team’s fate practically sealed and Duncan tweets that there’s some chance he might come back. Anything can happen going forward based on how the FO and Payton feels.
You're missing the point, he was already assuming he would hypothetically the head coach for a different team and he would trade for him. Coming back to coach us isn't even a option it seems like. I'd love for him to return but I just don't see it. I'd love to be wrong.
