Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

Best case scenario: Sean P. & John Harbaugh both get fired next season, Saints sign Harbaugh in '18 as HC and Drew beats B-more (final team to beat in his career) with Sean as B-more HC in SB!

Fox 8 reporting Payton and Loomis spoke after game, and apparently Sean is speaking to the Rams now

Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

Correct - even Jim Henderson said it's a real head scratcher and can't fathom why Payton would consider departing at his salary and the cache' the '09 Superbowl gets him...

Not saying it's happening, but Payton talking to the Rams definitely has traction and could prove to be a distraction and credibility issue later...

My question is 'Did Payton tell Loomis they were talking' or did Payton 'ask to speak with the Rams', either way, isn't that tampering without going through proper channels?

As long as Pete Carmichael is still around to run the offense I'm not sure losing Payton hurts us that bad.

Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

Mickey Loomis would.

Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

Agreed on Pete however I just don't see any new HC (at least a coach who is any good) agreeing to that. They will want to bring in their own staff and that would be key to their success.

To be continued ...

Side note - I'm not a fan of Doug Marrone.

Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

I hear ya... However, if it's a guy who has spent time on our coaching staff working with Pete maybe they would be fine with it. Doug Marrone would be one of those guys but I don't know if he'd be a good head coach option or not. Kind of undecided on that.

Unfortunately i agree.

Hahaha! Wait! How many games has hairball won in the past month??? He's like a badly insane Marty Schonttenheimer. He'll look good in the regular season then do some stupid things (in hairball's case, bad stupidly insane things) in the playoffs to lose.

Re: Latest Rumor: Doug Marrone could replace Payton if trade is made
 

A couple of meaningless end of the season wins doth not a playoff team make.

That was a quote from Shakespeare BTW...
