this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I agree for the most part. I’m just ready to get a new coach and move on. With change comes doubt, but also new hope....

Re: Why does no one see the obvious - Sean Payton gave up. He didn't retire/step away
I would not be so surprised if Payton took the path of Gruden, Madden, etc stayed in a cushy broadcasting gig for a lot longer than just a year.
Maybe Payton saw the deck was stacked against him. Not only did he lose his qb, the team was way over the cap and even if they could retain everyone, there would be no cap left to add missing pieces. He did not want to go through a rebuild and the team cant win without one. Maybe the perfect job will come next year and he will take it, or maybe there wont be the right opening and he will find that the comfortable hours of broadcasting allow him to get back in shape, travel, enjoy time with family, and he does not want to give it up to be Goodells punching bag. If he does go back go coaching, maybe he will pick a big market with a powerful owner who Goodell cannot mess with, such as Dallas or New England. |

Plus he has mad money.
He signed a five-year $37.5 million extension in 2011, which was voided by the NFL in 2012. On December 29, 2012, he signed another five-year $40 million deal. On March 23, 2016, he re-upped for five years worth $42.5 million. His latest contract extension was in 2019 worth $45 million for five years. |

Re: Why does no one see the obvious - Sean Payton gave up. He didn't retire/step away
If the original point of this thread is for me to consider being mad at Sean Payton for "quitting"... well, nope, sorry I can't be mad a Sean.
Please tell me at what future point or what scenario would be a "good place" for Sean to (as you say) "quit"? At death? Sean could've said "Next!" and quit after the SB win. He could've quit after being suspended. He could've quit when Brees "quit". But he didn't. He stayed for 16 seasons. And I can't be mad at him for that. |

Add in promotional money and Payton can be earning well north of $10 million per year working a fraction of the hours. Of course, he will no longer be collecting on that Saints contract I believe. If fired he would. Quitting should preclude him from salary, but keep him bound through the contract term.

That's when Payton agreed and said he's ready to give it that commitment.

You can go yell in a mirror as you will not get support for your vitriol from me. |
