Thanks for leaving us with this garbage ass offense.

If everyone was healthy it wouldn't be garbage. Don't forget that factor. What was left AFTER injuries was indeed garbage.

The going got tough and he ran away like a little...

Last year the Saints were 100 million over the cap and his Hall of Fame QB had just retired. Don't see how this situation is any worse.

Sure it is. Now we don't have a head coach either.

It isn't. Nowhere near as bad as last season. They can immediately clear $88 million in convertible cap without cutting any players nor adding any guaranteed money all through base salary and roster bonus conversions.

Sean Payton is done as HC for New Orleans.

When and if he "un retires", he'll want a fresh start elsewhere.

Brace yourself for that.

Payton isn’t coming back to the Saints after a year off lol. That’s delusional. Why would anyone take the head coach job if they knew that was the case?

I hope he does
Simple fact is he is done now with the Saints and i would rather Dallas have a bad start to the season and give up multiple picks to the Saints for his services than him join Amazon/CBS and the Saints get nothing

Not many teams can say they've had the run of success Payton had. Sure this team had some bad losses, but I look back at a bunch of seasons with fond memories.

One of my favourite moments, 2011 vs Giants. Payton back on the sideline from a broken leg. When Jimmy Graham scored, Payton lifted his crutches to signal TD lol

Thanks for everything SP, that Superbowl and those winning seasons were truly special memories.

Whoa. Ok people, calm down.

“ He saw the writing on the wall and ran like a little b=*&+.”
“Bet he is going to Dallas.”
“Thanks for leaving us with garbage o- line.”

Any fairweather fans here?
Hmmmm.

Me, I was Saints fan when they won A GAME. ONE. One game. 1980 or 81, they won A GAME. They lost the other 15, lol.

Oh boy , the Mora 1980s. Winning seasons . 8-8. 9-7.
Lol.

SeanP is leaving for this year, at least from hc.
He might end up on air commentator or guest commentator somewhere .
He might end up hc AT ANOTHER TEAM in 2023.

Good for him.
The past 15 years have been pretty awesome.

He owes Saints and fans nothing.
I am not surprised by the news.

Real life, real facts.
Saints do not have a qb. Rebuilding years are here.
During SeanP’s years,
Saints got taken way down by Goodell’s excessive punishment that year.
Refs threw the NFC game to the L.A.Rams .
Two great years his hard work , and the teams’ was really taken away.
One potential SB repeat year
A NFC conference win, no to refs clearly missed call.

The guy gave a good press conference. Honest. From the bits I saw. I am glad he did it now rather way in the Spring. Obviously, this is something he thought about over the past few months, this whole season.

Best to him.
