And Sean Payton currently has the largest coaching contract in NFL history.

lol yep, agreed. But think of how sweet it would be for Sean to send ol' g-will packing after beating the mess out of his D just this season. 😂

All coaches say they're gonna stay, even if they intend to leave. Its what they do.

However, I believe he's telling the truth. 2017 is setting up to be our best chance at a title run in a long while. Why would he leave with that on the plate?

This all boils down to one thing: wins and losses. Win and all the speculative nonsense goes away. Keep losing and you see what happens.

I will say though, as a fan, I get SO tired of hearing **** like this from the media. To me it's embarrassing, and I think about organizations like the Steelers and the Patriots, and there doesn't seem to be the same "rift" between the local media and the staff. makes me wonder.

You say that as if it couldn't get larger.

I agree.
But considering the Rams just fired a coach that went 7-9, 6-10, 7-9 and 7-8-1 from 2012-2015, why would they want to pay the largest ever contract to a coach that just hauled in his 3rd consecutive 7-9 season?

If Payton stays we can expect more of the same.....another 7-9 season. I just don't see him making the leap from 3 loosing seasons to a winning season. He has one of the best QB's, which a lot of teams lack. Still he can't make it happen. He needs a change of scenery and so do we.
FYI..I have nothing but love for Sean. However I love this team more.

So, you guarantee another 7-9 season with the top offense in the NFL if the Saints get back ALL of the defensive players that ended up on IR PLUS any FA and drafted additions?

Suck it up. Payton is staying and it is the best for the Saints' future. Yeah, Payton would be helped going to a franchise that is totally dysfunctional. Yeah, the Saints would be helped by splitting up the greatest offensive pairing in NFL history. Yeah, throwing out everything positive makes everything better.

What the hell?

I like Jim Henderson's take on this in that this is Payton and his agent stoking his market - why exactly he'd do this is a head scratcher, but Payton is the one who has to come down with the definitive door on the rumors...
