I have a feeling his coaching days are over and I don't blame him. He said he wanted to absolutely take time away from coaching and would consider TV. He also said he "might" consider coaching again someday, but no time soon. Exactly what Bill Cowher said when he stepped down from the Steelers.

CSP is in reset/recharge mode. A LOT happened in 2021.

Mike McCarthy's seat is very hot. If he does not get it done in 2022, you can better believe Jerrah Jones has Sean P on speed dial.

The man is only 58 years young & still innovative as an HC.

His coaching days are hardly over. Brace yourself for him to be wearing another team's colors in a year or two.

What does he have to gain personally from coaching again? You know it is a 120 hour a week job. He can still get his football fix through broadcasting. I once again mention Bill Cowher as a comparison. That man lived and breathed football and stepped cleanly away from coaching at eight years younger than Payton is now. Watch Payton's whole conference again. He looked so at ease and happy.

Don't need to re-watch it AG.

Sean P isn't done coaching. I know it hurts YOU that he decided to take the exit right after 14+ years in New Orleans but he's hardly done in the NFL.

I remember Parcells being "done" with coaching too. Took a 2-year "hiatus", then came back & eventually took Patriots to the Super Bowl.

It is what it is.

No. None of us know for sure. But, I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if he has coached his last game. And I'm not hurt by his leaving. I actually respect his decision.

I watched the presser early this morning and came away with the same impression as Guido. He looked at peace and ready for something different. I can empathize and completely understand. And I've changed my mind on how good he'll be in the booth. I think he'll be fine. Should he come back , it may be in management , front office type of stuff, maybe even with the Saints. He mentioned that he was fixing to move into a new home in n New Orleans. Who is knows what the future portends with SP.
