However, if the players actually get declared innocent, that they had no part in it... then I seriously think you have to review his status.

I agree. But "if" this gets over turned in favor of the players; no way will Baddell let two "eggs" hit him in the face. He will punish Payton. I think if the NFLPA has him by the short and curlies on this; things are going to get very interesting in the upcoming weeks.

It's plain and simple, there is NO Union for coaches. They aren't covered under the NFLPA. Therefore, the NFL's decision stands with Payton for now.

Yeah, the coaches only have the "National Football League Coaches Association" (NFLCA), which doesn't handle any labor disputes. But, maybe they'll look into progressing towards that goal in light of the recent developments.

This is the association's mission statement:

The National Football League Coaches Association shall serve as a forum for the discussion of issues that are of mutual concern to its members, with the responsibility to recommend to the National Football League courses of action on these issues.

This Association recognizes that the fans are our most important asset and pledges its unwavering commitment to continue to provide for them the very best in professional athletic competition.

There can be no greater legacy for this organization than the creation of opportunities for young people to grow, mature and become better citizens of this great country through participation in athletic competition.
