Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

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

It’s not about letting them go, Nielsen and Richard aren’t simply going to accept being demoted from their current role for a guy who failed. They’d both choose to leave, or look incredibly weak. There isn’t any business where someone gets promoted to the top job then demoted after a year like nothing happened.
