Juicy Fruit In Chicago ?

Honestly, I am not sure Payton ever leaves. I guess, realistically, in this day and age, all coaches will eventually leave or get fired- but only impatience would make him leave in my opinion. First, he has a great amount of security here as long as the team is in current ownership. If he goes anywhere else, he will have to win quickly like any other coach and a coach's star can tarnish quickly. The Saints also aren't a team that will stay down long- so he may have a rough year or two ahead, he should be able to bounce back here.

Sean was smart enough to chase after Drew and that monumental day back on March 14, 2006 put the Saints on a course non of us could ever imagine.
15 years to the day that he first signed with the Saints Drew retired. Not only did we lose our elite QB that day we lost probably the best on field coach that ever played the game.

There's been these "reach" stories every year for the past decade.

Just say no to Chicago.

If I would peg Payton to go anywhere it would be Dallas

Like many of you I am a lifelong Saint fan, but living in Texas. Moved to the Dallas area a couple of years ago so I listen to the local sports programs pretty religiously before I turn on THE BIG 870 in the evenings. I can guarantee you that if there is ever so much of a whisper that Sean Payton is available by trade, will be fired or is looking to resign that Jerry Jones will fire whoever his head coach at the time and bring Sean Payton in and make him the highest paid coach in the league. The radio guys here constantly claim that Jerry and Steven Jones both regret the day they let Sean walk and if he ever comes available again they want make the same mistake twice. Now In saying all of this I don’t believe Sean will leave because he has it made in New Orleans and is involved in pretty much every on field decision and would not be in Dallas. However, with a change in ownership coming sooner than later I would imagine all of this will become a hot news story one way or another, but you get a guy like Russell Wilson who will be here for the next 8-10 years my guess is Sean goes nowhere.

Keithday 123,

I live in Bedford (Mid-Cities) area ... over on 103.3 FM Dallas beat writer/columnist, Clarence Hill Jr. has been beating the drum for Payton as long as I can remember living in this city. He needs to let it go.

Anyways Welcome to B & G

I’m in Lucas area and yes I wish they would. I don’t want Sean going anywhere. In no sport is coaching more valuable than football. Find this man a QB and we will be enjoying double digit win seasons again.

So keith, you been here since 08 and have made only three posts..that’s gotta be some kinda record!

keithday123 · 12-06-2021, 08:50 AM

Lol. I know. I read the posts all of the time however I’m not much of a “poster”. However I saw this thread started and felt like giving some info that I hear on a regular basis. Been a fan a long time. From the miserable late 70’s and early 80’s, through the glory days of the dome patrol and on. Love me some Saints and New Orleans in general. It’s a better world when the Saints are great.
