How is it the stupidest question?

Are you satisfied missing the playoffs consistently?

He isn't going anywhere regardless of record, like already said: who's out there that's better?

So if we missed the playoffs or even had a disastrous 3-13 type season, you'd be confident in paytons ability?

How can a head coach keep his job regardless of the record he finishes with?

As for the "who's out there" we found SP when he was an offensive coordinator, we could find another.

Considering only 12 teams out of 32 teams in the entire NFL make the playoffs, we're far from the only ones who didn't make it...and one of those teams went 15-1, in our own division.

Sure, we're pretty spoiled, but it's Payton and Brees that spoiled us. You can change coaches if you want, but there's always a chance you get WORSE instead of better. Then what? It takes time, and when big gambles don't pay off, it takes a while to dig back out of that hole. We're closer to getting better than getting worse. Trust me.

And a lot of teams who don't make it fire their coaches. When you have a Super Bowl win on your resume, you get a few mulligans. But those mulligans are limited. I'm not trying to predict catastrophe. But as the question posed was is his job safe if we miss the playoffs, I think the pressure tightens significantly if that does happen.

Sure you could get worse. But that's the risk you have to take sometimes.
