Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

It’s not gonna happen, don’t get your hopes up.

Payton literally has his pick of what team he wants. There’s only a few teams that don’t need a coach of his caliber
He doesn’t though and that’s why a return to New Orleans may be a possibility, if unlikely. Only teams with a vacancy are an option and most vacant jobs come with big problems. The Chargers or Dallas would be an exception but I think it’s unlikely at this stage that either job becomes open. And if they don’t, does Payton have the patience to wait for something that might not happen any time soon? I’d wager that the answer is no given what he said the other day.

I’d argue the sole, big issue with our job is we have no QB. Well that is instantly solved by signing Tom Brady for a year or two. You throw in that the fan base loves him and Mrs Benson would likely make him the highest paid coach in NFL history then I think there’s a chance. Would all seem too good to be true though, so it won’t happen and we’ll get another year of Allen.
