When Payton retires, I think he's going to want a GM job somewhere just like his mentor Bill Parcels. But, personally, I would not want Payton the GM. Payton head of scouting offensive players, maybe, but not as a GM.
I don’t think that would be as big of an option as you think.
Payton’s already close to equaling the total number of games coached with Parcels.
He’s the old coach now.
