Think about all the injuries and the fact that the WR group was already less than spectacular. Having that team in the playoff race right up until the end was incredible.

This is bout personal drivers and those vary from person to person almost as widely as opinions and they also evolve as a person progresses through their career goals.

Sean always seemed more like a chess player to me, played more for the thrill of the chase than the victory. With Drew he had the one piece that left him comfortable enough to experiment everywhere else, without Drew he was back to player development and something tells me that's not what kept him interested. Sean's happy place is plotting and scheming and I suspect the 'right fit' for him is a place with all the pieces and the freedom to plot and scheme.

Tough to argue with that. Does a place with the pieces in place sound more like Dallas or LA Chargers?

There's a little something to that... OTOH, this year's roster appears stacked like never before. What other franchise could possibly be as stacked to allow SP that kind of flexibility? Not many, if any. Saints appear rebuilt... good for the fans. Chargers do have a QB... but how's that ownership working out over there? Maybe we should ask the Mannings?

Are the Chargers a better destination for SP? What team will give up the multitude of draft picks Saints will demand ?

I remember seeing a special back in the day about coaching they spoke with Ditka, Vermeil, others and the point was brought up that after 10+ years in a job everybody in the building has heard everything you had to say.
