Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

I don't want to return to the pre Payton era. We need a good HC regardless of whether he stays or not. Is Allen up to the job? I have no clue. I think we should probably give him a year and see where we are at. If it doesn't work out, we'll have a good place in the draft and the opportunity to take someone that would be a skilled HC. I would not mind Pete Carroll tbh. I think Seattle is crazy to want to get rid of him. I think he's a incredible motivator and probably a fun guy to play under. The ultimate player's coach.

I'm going with the wait and see approach on this one.

He's no Madden in terms of being a commentator.

If he really does move on, while thankful for bringing the Saints a SB, I would feel disappointed, maybe even betrayed, from his walking away before the team had fully transitioned from Brees.

He can take his time off during the off season and get refreshed during the next three months.

Like Jim Mora said in the above posted clip, there are only 32 jobs as HC of an NFL team. I don't think he's done yet and feel he wants to win one more Tiffany before he goes. And to do it with a different QB other than Brees would elevate him even more in the coaching ranks.

Same, unless there are personal considerations that warrant it I just don't see him leaving us in the lurch. Aside from speedo, who probably digs through Sean's garbage, we'll just have to wait him out.

Lets say Payton does decide to step away from football... would fans be against this?

HC - Dennis Allen
OC - Pete Carmichael
DC - Ryan Nielsen

All moot if we make a big acquistion at quarterback. You can bet Payton would put this rumor to rest with the quickness.

Check out the show starting about the 23:00 mark.

“If” Sean is interested in taking a back seat for coaching in 2022 …

No to Dennis Allen. He’s not HC material.

Past history suggests that def coordinators do not transition well as Head Coaches. Fangio, Romeo C, Saleh, Allen (Raiders) have failed.

Bellichick is the outlier.

I don't know Dennis Allen papz. He's smart but he doesn't know how to close and always loses a stinker or two to brain *****.
