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

Let's all move on and get a QB in here.

SP wouldn't be moving on had he been successful in getting Mahomes here.

Interesting thought... in 2017 a slightly different draft and we would be set.

Move up one in the first and Mahomes, pick Deshaun Watson instead of Lattimore...

Went back and looked at that draft again and man we nailed that draft. Despite that, I wish we could have drafted one of those qbs

There is something to be said for Drew Brees being replaced by Philip Rivers after his first contract. He did not become Drew Brees as we know him until Sean Payton molded him. I have read Sean Payton's book "Home Team" and it is very insightful. I'm pretty sure Drew Brees acknowledges that Sean took him to the next level. That is a very important factor when deciding on a head coach.

Let's look at this from several different angles. Sean Payton took the Saints from a laughing stock franchise to a perennial winner. He evaluated the staff from the cafeteria workers to front office personnel and clearly put his thumbprint on the future of the franchise coming in. He has led us through hurricanes, covid, devastating injuries, and has fought hand to hand with Roger Goodell.

He gave us everything he had and even went through a divorce while he was here. It was time for a change and I'm not upset that he left in the least. I don't blame him for the position the Saints are in now. That finger should be pointed elsewhere.

I would welcome Sean Payton back with open arms. If he could lead us to another Super Bowl victory he would ensure his place in the Hall of Fame. Of course, if he took another team to the same place he took the Saints to, then he is a definite shoe in for the Hall of Fame.
