Sean Payton shocked the NFL world this past January when he stepped down from his role with the New Orleans Saints. Although an official decision hasn't been made yet, it sounds like he'll return to coaching sooner than later.
Over the past few weeks, Payton has been linked to the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams. In reality, his potential list of suitors will only expand as the offseason inches closer.
We caught up with Payton to discuss his future in the NFL, the Cowboys' outlook for the playoffs, his partnership with Zebra Technologies, and more.
The Spun: Can you tell us about your partnership with Zebra Technologies?
Sean Payton: So Zebra has been with the NFL for nine years. The Saints were one of those early founding teams. For me, it was training camp. It allowed me to look at distance traveled with each of my position groups and I could look for outliers just trying to reduce hamstring, soft-tissue injuries so that data was, for me, practice driven. And then, of course, there's that entertainment aspect that I know my son and fans enjoy when they're able to hear a player travels 21 miles per hour. But having been on the competition committee, I do think that the chip in the football eventually is going to help us more with crossing the goal line there. There's certain areas that that the league is looking to expand. And yet, it was an easy partnership that I became involved with nine years ago.
The Spun: You’ve been linked to the Chargers and Rams. Are those jobs you’d be interested in if they opened up?
