Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

The man deserves to retire. Last year was tough on him and the team. We would have fallen apart without Sean Payton's leadership leading us in the dark ages of 2021. I've got an autographed copy of his book HOME TEAM which is open on my book shelf. It will stay open and proud looking down from my Saints shrine.

Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

I certainly don't fault Payton for leaving. Can you imagine having to prepare to play against other teams AND the league? He knows that he's fighting a losing battle and I doubt that he'll ever be a head coach in the NFL again unless Goodell retires.

On another note, it would be a bitter pill to swallow to see him on the sidelines in another team's gear.

Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

There have been so many posts here in the last day or so, and we thought it was going to be another dull off-season.
It may have been posted before but there were most likely a lot of underlying issues that Sean was dealing with.
1. The most obvious Drew retiring.
2. The Jon Gruden Witchunt, remember Sean & Jon go way back
3. The Suspension and all the Happy Horse$hit from the league
4. Covid was and still is in play
5. Big Tuna telling Sean, ya got to go out on top.
6. Never really liked Crawfish but "Oh" those Beignets.
7. Last but not least Skylene Montgomery (any questions refer to photo)
*In fairness and my opinion Beth is also very attractive..

He will get the itch for another job, they all do.
By the time camp starts he will be climbing the walls.

If McCarthy gets off to a bad start in Dallas next year he's doomed

Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

Instead of tanking for an early first next year maybe he really is just taking the year off. Maybe he comes back in 2023 to a team that has a top 5 pick and some money to spend when we are in better shape cap wise….
One can dream can’t he?

Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

Not all of them. John Madden (43), Jimmy Johnson (56) and Bill Cowher (50) are just three that left coaching even younger than Payton (58) is now and never came back. He may very well coach again some day. He said he might consider it. But, Madden, Johnson, and Cowher all satisfied that itch by staying connected to the game via TV. Who knows? Maybe it will be the same for Payton.

I will be sad not to see him on Sundays. :sad:
