Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach (17 Viewers)

[Moon]

That's all well and good and I'm thankful for most of the years that he gave us but it doesn't change the fact that he left this team in bad shape and quit. I don't even think the off-season was over before he said he wanted to be a coach again, just not for us.

Maybe if he left us with at least a decent QB then I'd be more forgiving but nope. Imagine what we could have done in this division with Lamar Jackson. He saw the mess he helped create and bounced. The final parting piece was to recommend Dennis Allen for the job. He was in the spotlight for one year and everyone but Loomis could tell he wasn't fit to lead, no way Payton didn't know his personality after working with him for all those years

Oh waaaaahhhhhhh, this is exactly the type of crybaby attitude I'm talking about. He left after 5 straight winning seasons & one year removed from 4 years in the playoffs. What was he supposed to do? Stay here for another 4 to 5 years and work through the salary cap to make you guys happy? You would've been calling for his head anyway. If he had gotten the team ready for a Super Bowl run and THEN resigned, would that have dried some tears? No---the pouting only would've intensified. And it doesn't matter who he "recommended", it was never his decision.

My recommendation for you guys is to try and be grateful for the 16(!) seasons he was here, and maybe re-direct your anger/petulance/sulking to something more worthy---like an ex-girlfriend, or a neighbor who bought a new car, or someone who cut you off in traffic, etc

The true story is he is the one who started this mess with the cap by demanding the FO to go after free agents he wanted and when it got difficult he quit on the team and bounced the first opportunity he had. When he “retried” he damn well knew he was going to coach again. He just needed us to move on with a different HC so he wouldn’t have to return here.

This is no place to be telling the truth. We still have Mickey Loomis we can blame, c'mon man.

 

[Jd101]

Stop with that. Loomis controls the cap and continued that mess for 3 years after Sean was gone.

If in your eyes, 16 seasons of unprecedented success, offensive records broken, countless hours devoted and a Super Bowl victory makes a guy a quitter when he decides he's done, then I would have to agree---------you are very confused

Payton told Jim Rome he was leaving the saints before he told the saints. What does that tell you ?

7-9 is not a winning season

In his final press conference, Sean Payton himself said that he thought about just taking a year off, but that wouldn't be fair to Dennis Allen. He didn't say the next coach, he said Dennis Allen. That seemed like a tell that Allen would be the next coach before the coach search even began. It also indicates that Payton also didn't want to do Allen dirty, so he probably didn't try to come back after his year off like the whispered rumors say he did.

Payton didn’t want to come here to begin with, he has said so many times

Did he? I have never heard that before.

 

[Treybad]

Why are we following Paytons every comment , free agent signing , coach he hires , etc.....

 

[Jd101]

Did he? I have never heard that before.

He was gonna announce it on his show, changed his mind

I've googled it and found nothing about it. Got a link?

CSP is Who Data for Life that's why his digs are funny, he and Mickey have a great relationship.

This.

People are reading way too much into stuff. They’re friends and, currently, competitors in their job.

I’m also sure SP doesn’t like seeing his “program” drop to this level, but he also had a hand in it by pushing to move cap money into the future (which I had no problem with) and going out of his way to recommend DA for a job he had no business getting.

sean payton doesn't know what sean payton is gonna do next. if sean payton knew what sean payton was doing then sean payton wouldn't have gotten a divorce, busted for vicodin, phony bounty scandal. Sean payton is just another guy (JAG) trying to figure out life. In the end, i believe he will be sad he left new orleans because of the way it loved him.

Payton is just worried that if someone comes in and does a good job he might lose his God like status. Why else would he have recommended DA for HC.

Forget the super bowl, who's looking forward to Monday or Tuesday?

 

[SaintsMan209]

Here is a crazy conspiracy theory...ready?

The game that Payton got "Covid" and was "force" to sit out, he told the entire coaching staff to prepare as if he was no longer with the team. He then called his buddy Tom the goat Brady and asked him to tank so that old DA would get da job. And DA got da job. I have no sources or proof, this is totally made up but very believeable. what say you.

Alright child. Calm down, I just said I appreciate what he did for this franchise but my IQ is also high enough to acknowledge that in trying to chase that final championship he put this team in a bad situation that we're still trying to get out of. Like do you really not see the cost benefit to get those 5 winning seasons?

He could have drafted a QB that would have set the franchise up for the next decade but because it wouldn't help him win that year he went and traded up for a project DE. In the final 5 years of Brees career his attempts to find a young QB were Ian Book and Tommy Stevens.
