Would you rather have draft picks....or Sean Payton back? (1 Viewer)

He’s never coming back. Lightning isn’t going to strike twice. It was a once in a lifetime thing - Payton and Brees in NOLA at that particular time. It’s memory.

And just how do you know that? HC just like the draft is a crap-shoot. Keep the mid-level 1st and MAYBE 2nd rd picks I'll take a proven winner

You can't hold on to the past forever. When it's time to move on, it's time to move. Sean chose to move on, ain't no use in crying over spilled milk. I'm not that guy.

It's not like he didn't want to be HERE, he didn't want to coach ANYWHERE this yr

So you believe Sean is saying "it's not you, it's me."

Good luck with that. Hope it works out for ya!

I’ll take the unpopular route. I want Payton back. If he wants to come back, if he needed a break to refocus and reflect I’d welcome him with open arms

Agree. He gave us 16 great years in a place he really doesn’t like, most wouldn’t stomach that duration if you had the means to move on.

I doubt we’ll ever have another run like Sean gave us in our lifetimes so for that I’m appreciative.

Sean Payton!

Let’s use logic here folks…

Sean Payton = a head coach that’s a for sure playoff contender and who free agents want to play for

1st rd QB draft pick = mystery

Drafting a qb in the first round isn’t a for sure thing. We have a number one overall pick QB on the roster. Carolina has a number one overall pick QB on the roster PLUS another top 10 QB pick on the roster. All three of these guys are still in their 20’s and they aren’t very good.

I'm convinced our record would be reversed if Payton were still coaching this season. So I think the best option would be for him to return. There are no guarantees with any other coach imo. I think Payton could coach another 10 years if he wanted to.

That said, I'd be shocked if he decided to return. I absolutely would not let him go for anything less than a high first round pick and then some.

This is really a very good question… I have not voted…

My initial gut reaction is to say “Payton made it clear he doesn’t want to be here, so I don’t want him back after he makes them beg… but… Dennis Allen is certainly not the guy and having no 1st rounder with the possibility of Bryce Young is just unfair!

Unfortunately… at the end of the day, I think the Saints are boned either way.

Payton's time is past. His playcalling had gotten stale, as did his own passion for the game.

If we can get at least a 1 for him, I'm fine with him going elsewhere.

You're not getting it, the question was " Would you rather have SP back or the picks ?" NOT whether he was coming back. BUT if he could be persuaded to come back I'd welcome him back not like some of you butt-hurt wanna-be jilted lovers

Show me where , WHERE did SP say he didn't like it here SMH

What's done is done. After this season with DA I'm ready for a fresh start. He will always have my respect and appreciation.

I want the Saints to trade Sean Payton for the 1st round pick, and then draft Eastern Illinois quarterback Sean Payton.

 

[Snakehead]

draft picks and a new coach. I don't want to be the guy crying for his ex to come back.

Did the ex have a bounce back with Pete Davidson?

There's a reason CSP is the hottest commodity available as a HC. He's the best available, period.

He could use this as a sabbatical year and come back rejuvenated in 2023. He'd still have the mess to fix, but could come on with fresh eyes/ideas.
