I really think he'll do a good job on TV.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

If so I would guess that He’ll do a year of tv and get back to coaching unless the young wife wants to travel with him and likes it. The tv gig would be like semi retirement and keep him in the game.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

That's what I'm thinking too. It's time to enjoy his wife and family after all the hours he put in late nights and weekends at his office in Metairie. He's earned some rest and I hope he's good at TV so he can relax more. If he wants back into coaching, then I wish him well anywhere except Dallas.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Unless he's really bad at the tv gig, assuming he lands one, I'm certain he won't return to the sidelines. He knows that the games will be persuaded to an outcome that Goodell prefers and thus has litttle chance to obtain his second Lombardi trophy.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

He should've had a couple more Tiffany's if he knows the rule book better. And that's despite RG shenanigans. It is what it is now...and it's on him. And he's moved on for one of the very likely reason you've just stated.

Godhell is a cancer who is currently negotiating another exorbitant contract. I do hope that the coaching pay to lose program haunts him until the day he dies for his bad decisions. I just hope it's not too soon because I want him to get what he's got coming to him. Karma is always watching and waiting to make you pay for your evil intentions.

Aikman is moving to ESPN. That opens up a slot for Payton at Fox and Amazon has still yet to name a color commentary individual for their new Thursday Night coverage.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

They should team up Troy Aikman with Beth Mowins for MNF. (of course I am not being serious).

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I've warmed up to Collinsworth over the years. At times he's hard to take, still, but he does make good observations. I may be an outlier here, but Al Michaels is a shell of his former self.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I've been so done with Al Michaels for a very long time!

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I see he's (Al)reportedly moving over to Amazon TNF this season.

Tirico and Collinsworth in the NBC booth.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I like Tirico. He's not so full of himself that he's annoying...

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

This could be an interesting setup. They could finish each other's thoughts.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Click bait... :rolleyes:

Nothing in that article says anything meaningful. All speculation. More clickbait. Thanks for posting yet another waste of time. :rolleyes:

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Doesn't look like he's missing coaching much.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Maybe they can get a draft pick. LOL!

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

More click bait. You should start a blog speedo. It could be full of this kinda crap. In pretty short order you'd realize nobody cares...

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

It's looking more and more like Payton will be in the Fox broadcast booth with Joe Buck this Fall.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Wow! I see that Amazon was supposedly offering as much as a five year deal at $100 million to Sean McVay to join their TV crew. Aikman is supposedly getting as much as $15 million per year offer if he signs with ESPN. I can see Payton saying "screw coaching" at $8.5 million per year working 100 hours a week when he can make $10 million or more easily in the booth working only 20 hours a week.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

He will work more than 20 hours a week - you have no idea what you're talking about, as usual... :rolleyes:

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

now I can unmute Fox and mute ESPN
Good riddance TA, Take Yuck with you

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

F*** off Payton. Hurry up and un-retire so we can trade you.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

When/if he settles in with Fox and the $10-$15 million salary he'll have effectively said good-bye to coaching for some time, if not forever.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Damn Chris !!!!! Lol

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

A big part of me agrees. I like Sean, but he bailed on his contract. If he pops up coaching next year does than Saban-ize him? At least a little, yea it does.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Folks up my way already have Sean moving back to his old home in Southlake, waiting, ready to seize the opportunity "IF" McCarthy fails to deliver in 2022.

Part of me thinks Sean will (some day) return, and the other part says he'll stay in that nice, cozy booth making millions for years to come.

We shall see.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Too bad we can’t franchise tag coaches.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Booth for a year than on to Jerry World...just a hunch.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

What's crazy is that some "fans" would rather have another disappointing season, the subsequent firing of MM & enter ... SeanP.

MINDSET is all f***** up in Dallas.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I'm concerned he's going to get too comfortable working less while getting paid a lot more. He has a ring and really has nothing to prove. How crappy would that be?

I hope Jerry is sending him and his wife gift baskets every week and when the time comes, a loaded Brinks truck to his front door.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Why the concern? Why would it be crappy? I'd love hearing him call games for the rest of his career. He's earned the opportunity to make twice the money while working a fraction of the hours and still stay close to the game he loves. I would guess the vast majority of coaches in the league would give up coaching for that deal in a second, especially if they are approaching the age of sixty, but only a very select few will ever get that opportunity. That's why I seriously doubt Payton returns to coaching, especially in a market like Dallas.

But one never knows.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Dallas fans have been delirious for over a quarter of a century thinking that their team is still relevant. :D

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

You think its's that grim?

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

Because I selfishly would like compensation for him "retiring".

If I were him, I'd take the 12+ million a year calling games and not get back into coaching. I'm not him though. I rather get draft picks opposed to love hearing him call games for the rest of his career. That does not benefit the Saints.

Re: Why Sean Payton Left the NFL Sidelines for a Shot in the Broadcast Booth | The Rich Eisen Show
 

I gotcha'. I just don't see an in-conference team getting the okay from the Saints if they told Miami that they couldn't even talk to him this off-season. That is, if you can believe this story. Then again, perhaps they said "no" simply because they knew for a fact that Payton wasn't interested in coaching right now as he has repeatedly said.
