Why you lie

I guess when it comes to predictions, this would be a fairly easy one to make. Payton has already exceeded the number of seasons most NFL head coaches stick with a team, there is a very high chance that this could be the last year for Brees with the Saints, and Dennis Allen was brought back.

I wonder how many times he's predicted Belichick will leave the Pats? Teams don't just get rid of successful coaches....well, except the 49ers.

He needs a Snicker Bar.

Not the Sean Payton of 2010, that's for sure.

It's true. We were 7-9 in a weak division and Cam Newton has won it twice in a row.

Ownership is in a turmoil.

Both the roster and the front office had a major shake up during the offseason.

We traded away our best receiving threat as well as a promising young receiver.

We didn't resign a lot of our veteran players.

Our defense is ranked almost dead last and the defensive coordinator hasn't been successful anywhere for any length of time.

So yeah, if you didn't follow the team it would make sense. It's called research you lazy hack!

could the Dennis Allen signing be the bait that finally pushed King off the edge?

I've been pretty vocal about the fact that I believe Brees will play out the final two years of his contract and then he and Payton will both move on. I could see Payton taking over for Coughlin with the Giants.

My whole problem with peter king constantly predicting Payton to leave isn't about the actual chances of it happening. Anything is possible. And that right there is just it. Of course he COULD leave soon. That's not news.

I haven't spoken glowingly about the management or coaching of this team over the last couple years, myself, but I still think it's going to take a lot for Payton or Loomis to get fired. And unless they do get fired I see no other reason why they would leave. This isn't like jumping from a great college job for a shot at the NFL. This IS the NFL.

Maybe when Brees leaves or retires (whichever comes first) Payton will follow him out the door as you said. But I don't even see that. I think he'll have another QB in place by then, be it Grayson or someone else. He's in a place where the fan support is as rabid as any in the country, he's been viewed as practically a savior for what he's previously accomplished, and though there will always be scrutiny wherever you go when the expectations get bigger and the stakes get higher, this is not a high pressure job compared to most high profile coaching gigs.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
