Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

Obviously there isn’t a rule that says that, it’s just basic common sense. When has a coordinator ever stepped up to be a HC, then got fired after a year and immediately returned to their old role? It’s never happened because it’s a stupid idea, why would you force Nielsen and Richard out for a guy who’s just led you to a terrible season? Not to mention, DAs credibility would be hugely damaged and I can’t see how any player on defense could take him seriously. Absolute non-starter.

I just don’t see why the coaching staff would all have to go down in flames simply by SP returning. You’d simply have the current coaches go back to their 2021 duties. Some lesser known coaches may have to take the brunt of it down the food chain but I don’t see why you’d have to let Allen, Nielsen or Richard go just by having SP come back
