Broncos plan to hire Saints IHC Darren Rizzi as their Special Teams Coordinator after Saints HC search process

I think Sean/Mickey broke up over Drew returning in 2020. Payton had Tom Brady ready to take over. When Brees unretired, Mickey/Gayle should have blocked Brees and told him it's over. By retaining Brees, they setup Payton for disaster and disrespected him. They basically told him they were more loyal to players than the coaches. When that happened, Payton knew he would never win another Super Bowl in New Orleans. It was the day the music died.

That may be a stretch because you don't push Drew aside nope never was going to happen. We still were a viable contender at that time. The team just couldn't finish...Jared Cook ring a bell or the tight end that dropped 2 potential td's in the Rams game. If we would have won the SB the year of the Rams Championship game I feel like Drew would have retired the next year if not the following for sure.

I mean Drew was and is an iconic figure for the Saints. Most of us wish we would of had Patrick Mahomes but would Mahomes even have gotten the chance he would have been the back up for quite awhile before he ever got the chance.

Sean had his reasons and hopefully someday it will get leaked or come out in a book when he is done coaching but until then it is all speculation as to what went down.

Not saying your view is wrong,not at all I just wanted to share mine with you.
