Why doesn’t Payton want to come back to the Saints?

I'm very glad that he has done well in broadcasting. It was time for a fresh start elsewhere when he went into broadcasting, and now it's time for that fresh start again with a new franchise back in coaching.

If given the choice of having 2006 Sean Payton back or 2006 Drew Brees back I am taking Drew all day. This is the reason I believe we attribute a lot of success to Sean that should actually be attributed to Drew.

Here is another litmus test. Which statement is more true?

Drew Brees, Hall of Fame Quarterback.
Sean Payton, Hall of Fame Coach.

Sean left because that is his way of running from the reality that he was a car on the Drew Brees train and not the other way around.
