Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

SonOfNOLA said
I don’t know how we can be so sure that Staley’s gone after season 2 just because Payton wants his job. We know Payton has interest but is the interest significantly mutual from the Chargers? Media makes it seem like Payton will strongarm his way into the Chargers HC position while Staley’s in just his 2nd year as a HC, under contract, and likely making the playoffs

I don't think anything is certain and I don't have any real sense of how the Chargers operate and what they might do.

I see Payton as a top tier coaching candidate, enough so that opportunities could open up for him that wouldn't for most others, but the ones making that decision might not see it that way.
