Payton Eying The Chargers Or Cardinals

[NewOrleansBoy]

The fact that he just simply doesn’t want to coach this team is not a lot of big deal it feels like

Payton is going to win multiple SBs with Herbert. They are Sean Payton away from putting the Chiefs in catch up mode.

I cant imagine a scenario where Payton has his choice of jobs and he goes with Kyler Murray. Most overrated, overpaid QB in NFL history.

Meanwhile, we will have people defending Dennis Allens 9th 12 loss season in a row because of the traffic on I-10.

Who's going to do personnel and coach the defense?

With Payton, that will actually be the primary difference between contending for Super Bowl and 8-8.

I love that the news that Sp wants to coach again is getting out there…the more teams interested, the betta. Whodat, raise the roof for his asking price. It sure will make the sting of our original pick belonging to the Eagles a little better to take.

I think the theory people have that Payton and Loomis talked about this and Payton said he needed a break, and that he fully intended on coming back to coach again, is 100% dead on. Payton's been with the team since 2006 which is absolutely insane in NFL coaching years. Loomis told Payton he's not trading him for anything less than a first and I am sure Payton understood. I think that's why Loomis showed ZERO care to just hurling picks around in the last draft to grab Olave. Loomis knew Payton was always coming back and that at least half the league would be calling to see what the cost would be, he knew he was going to have a lot of future picks to play with.

In my opinion, he’s playing with house money in terms of his career. He’s already got the championship, 200 wins will guarantee him a spot in the Hall.
L.A. is the more logical team, because why not spend the “paycheck era” of your career in L.A.?

Agreed, especially considering they're a solid team personnel-wise with a franchise QB already on the roster. In a familiar twist, the main thing holding the Chargers back is the lack of a great head coach.

Hot take. Payton doesn’t last more than five seasons. There is a big possibility that the Chargers don’t win the AFCW as the Chiefs continue to dominate.
Payton leaves but wins just enough to get his 200th victory and a HOF jacket somewhere in the mid 2030s.

Plus, SP will be able to walk into the top media market (Los Angeles) and be numero uno from the get go. He could flip the script for the Chargers and dominate the Los Angeles scene for the next few years. Here’s to the Chargers opening their bank for him.

To borrow a phrase, the Chargers would have the face on the billboard for the next few seasons.

I still do not understand why, if he wants to coach, why could he not just stay on the team he built, for the city who idolized him.

If stays on the Saints and they go through a lull of more than a few seasons, it does tarnish his chances to get in the Hall a little bit.
Going to another team creates a checkpoint. His resume in NOLA is safe. He’ll get in based on that.
Everything else with another team is just chasing records (another Lombardi, 200 wins).
And I can understand it.
To compare, Payton here without Drew felt like that those last few seasons of a 80s show where on of the major characters left and the quality drops significantly.
And he ended it somewhat perfectly. With a win against Atlanta. He’ll always be idolized here.

Like I said in a previous post, if you’re gonna have a “paycheck era” do it in L.A.!

Payton will be in the hall if he never coaches another game.

Is Sean Payton A Hall Of Fame Coach?

With Sean Payton stepping down as New Orleans Saints head coach, there's no debate that he must be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Oh, I agree. I’m just saying 200 wins may be the difference between a first ballot or a few year wait.
