NFL Reinstates Saints Head Coach Sean Payton

Following a meeting yesterday with New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton, Commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated Coach Payton from his season-long suspension, effective immediately.

Coach Payton acknowledged in the meeting his responsibility for the actions of his coaching staff and players and pledged to uphold the highest standards of the NFL and ensure that his staff and players do so as well.

“We had a very productive discussion,” said Commissioner Goodell. “Sean fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension. More important, it is clear that Sean understands and accepts his responsibilities as a head coach and the vital role that coaches play in promoting player safety and setting an example for how the game should be played at all levels. We are committed to delivering football that fans love and the safety players deserve. Coach Payton agrees and I look forward to working with him going forward to do that.”

As a result, Coach Payton may attend the Senior Bowl this week and resume his duties as head coach of the Saints.

Statement from Saints Head Coach Sean Payton
For Immediate Release: January 22, 2013

I am thankful today Commissioner Goodell has granted me reinstatement. As I stated back in March, “ I, along with Mickey Loomis, take full responsibility for all aspects of our football program.”

I clearly recognize that mistakes were made, which led to league violations.

Furthermore, I have assured the Commissioner a more diligent protocol will be followed.

Lastly, I feel we have learned from our mistakes and are ready to move forward. I want to thank our owner, Mr. Benson and all of our great fans for the overwhelming support throughout this past year.

I am excited to be back as Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Roger did this so the city of New Orleans would take it easy on his sorry ass.

Yeah he's back and I'm not talking about Obi-wan

Statement from Saints Owner Tom Benson

For Immediate Release: January 22, 2013

We are all thankful that Sean Payton has been reinstated.

We have a lot of work to do and we are in the middle of it right now.

He is our head coach and we welcome him back.

We look forward to a great 2013 season and making another run at a World Championship for our fans!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

I am so glad Payton is back for real. Time to get to work and right this ship.

However, F*&* you Der Kommissar. I am just saying.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

I think ESPN is trying to distance themselves from anything to do with the bounty gate after they ran into airing the dirt on the saints within 24 hrs with a half hour special when it all started. they owe the saints an apology.

any way :broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli::broccoli:

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

It's about damn time, Kommish! Now give us back our draft picks!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

About time. Hope he is at Senior Bowl doing some evaluations since we are gonna have a lot of holes to fill via draft.

I guess better late than never ...

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Time to get to work!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

I'm sure Pat Y. is hammering away at his keyboard now and writing some nonsense on how bringing back Payton is harmful to the NFL. We'll see it on ESPN soon enough.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Suddenly.......
the entire Falcon fan base just "Sat Down" after attempting to "Rise-Up"

It's over........

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

This is a great morning already !

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

1 Down 1 to go!!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

"Sean fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension."

This is what he said was necessary for us to get our 2nd rounder back....

Anybody on board w the idea that he's spacing this stuff out, i.e., next tuesday, wed, thur, he gives us the pick back, or say, THE DAY he's supposed to show up in nola?

Even if he did, how many people out there are going to feel comfortable joining him for a meal? The whole table's order might just get special sauce to make sure that ol rog gets some lol

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

That's what the NFL Network are saying, he was fearing for his safety in New Orleans, so Roger thought this would ease the tension...

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Give us our 2nd rounder back....

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

A good one I just saw...."FREE(D) Payton"

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Maybe this float from Saturday night helped in making his decision.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

It's a shame Sean has to admit to something he had nothing to do with, and that's assuming that anything other than a standard pay for performance pool was even going on, which we've been over hundreds of times about the lack of evidence.

But at least he's back. Now hopefully this team will refocus and do next year what we wanted them to do this year. Put a giant Lombardi sock in Roger's mouth!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

I want my 2012 back.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

And he did just that with the Saints organization. He is stringing it along to maintain leverage in the media. As long as Goodell has one thing..a draft pick... he can keep the Saints organization from roasting him publicly.

He doesn't realize that he has yet to reconcile with the fan base and we have nothing but rope for him.

Rope and Chains 2013!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Sean is back, great time to start kicking ass and taking names again. This is a complete PR move by Goodell so he could survive his stay next week. IMO he doesn't give the 2nd rounder back just so the team can't roast him in the media. Any presser today?

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

This doesn't change much, he was going to be reinstated the day after the Super Bowl, Roger is just trying to suck up to the city of New Orleans and our fans. I'd much rather have that second round draft pick back. I hope our fans boo loudly when Roger takes the stage after the Super Bowl.

F*ck Roger Goodell!

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Why would we risk roasting Roger in the media after getting the 2nd rounder back? He could just renege and take it back from us again. He is God-ell, after all.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

We need a salary cap pass to make up for the bogus claims and punishment.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Watching the coverage on NFL network. what a bunch of clowns.
next year is our year!
WHO DAT

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

I did hear something about how our draft position might be the silver lining... We have a lot of holes to fill on the defense and the somewhat "early" draft position can help.

Re: Payton is reinstated..........
 

Absolutely. The whole thing has turned out to be egg on his face and tarnished his reputation, so he almost has no choice but to un-do the remaining punishments before he gets here. I think it's coming and will happen at a time when the sports media is concerned with something else
