NGT: Sean Payton Informs Saints He’s Stepping Away

Saos1n : 1/25/2022 1:49 pm
Wow
Mike McCarthy  
GNewGiants : 1/25/2022 1:50 pm : link
job security just got a lot worse.
Apparently, he’s retiring  
Saos1n : 1/25/2022 1:52 pm : link
My word
great run  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 1/25/2022 1:53 pm : link
one of the best offensive coaches of this era. That onside kick to start the 2nd half of the SB was awesome.
FULL AHEAD  
mattlawson : 1/25/2022 1:53 pm : link
Come to the Giants...  
BamaBlue : 1/25/2022 1:54 pm : link
for a thrill like this.

he's still under contract  
Jints in Carolina : 1/25/2022 1:55 pm : link
he won't go anywhere for a least a year.
Who does  
ajr2456 : 1/25/2022 1:55 pm : link

Sean Payton was “exhausted” coaching the Saints. What makes you think he would want any involvement with this mess?
Retiring or TV  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/25/2022 1:57 pm : link
then will let McCarthy implode and come back to Dallas.
Payton is a carbon copy of McCarthy in every sense  
djm : 1/25/2022 1:58 pm : link
he's just 100 lbs lighter. Their careers are mirror images of each other.
wow  
Nola Giants : 1/25/2022 1:58 pm : link
I feel bad from my hometown team, looks like some dark days ahead.

I will feel worse for my team if he's a Cowboy in 2023.
Yeah, the talk is  
Big Blue '56 : 1/25/2022 1:58 pm : link
that he’ll do TV for a year or two and go back into coaching
saints have no franchise qb, cap issues... he doesn't want to rebuild  
guitarguybs12 : 1/25/2022 1:58 pm : link
so why would he ever want to do the same here?

they promote Dennis Allen to HC. Safe bet there, good defenses.

They need to find a QB though.
Rent Mike...  
DC Gmen Fan : 1/25/2022 2:02 pm : link
don't buy...
Its really hard to coach when you dont have a HOF QB  
Rudy5757 : 1/25/2022 2:02 pm : link
Great coach, but hes under contract with the Saints. this doesnt have any impact on the Giants.

I dont think he wants any part of this mess either.
Cowboys  
Mook80 : 1/25/2022 2:03 pm : link
would be smart to offer a 1st rounder to the Cowboys for him if he's willing to coach this year. Can't imagine he'd be willing to go anywhere else besides a team who is ready to win in 2022.

The Cowboys with a legit head coach would be scary. McCarthy is the biggest thing thats holding them back
Wow  
Jim in Forest Hills : 1/25/2022 2:05 pm : link
Big move but I dont think this is the end for him as a coach. Wonder where he ends up next.
time away?

The #Saints will hold a press conference today to discuss Sean Payton’s time away and he’ll inform his staff in the coming minutes. End of an era in New Orleans.
Dak  
Toth029 : 1/25/2022 2:10 pm : link
Knew the rules.

McCarthy is a dipshit but they lost because Dak and their team couldn't stop making mistakes.
Guess we’ll see him in Dallas  
illmatic : 1/25/2022 2:12 pm : link
soon enough.
This is right out of Parcells Playbook  
Sammo85 : 1/25/2022 2:12 pm : link
Keep that in mind folks.

It's exactly out of the Parcells MO, who he coached under and was mentored by.

I can't stand the guy but this reads like it could be health related, which I don't wish on him. Hope its nothing like that.
I already picture Payton in a Cowboys hat on the sidelines.........

Kind of irrelevant at this point not to mention the womanizing and vicodin stuff was more rumor than anything substantiated but I don't have a dog in this race at all. You can hate them both for all I care.

Plus McCarthy has his own weird shit.

Exactly, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be happy behind the mic over coaching, but what do I know?

I guess, but Parcells screwed the Giants. Payton is still giving them time to hire a head coach.
Seems like a good time to bail ....  
Beer Man : 1/25/2022 2:30 pm : link
The team is not really a Playoff team at this time and is going into an offseason where they are currently $74M over the cap.
Oh God....

Please tell me he's taking a breath out coming to the Giants.
Please don't let him go to Dallas

They are still exceptionally close so Parcells certainly can teach him how to navigate these things. I still think he may just want to recharge for a year.

If Sean Payton does just want to take a couple of years off from coaching, he'll be just about ready to return in 2024, which is the next time the Giants are due to fire a head coach.

Well... I thought the picture made that point obvious. The tip-off should have been the nuke detonation. Seems less funny when you have to explain it...

I hope he takes a TV gig and loves it so much that he doesn’t return because we all know he is destined for Dallas in a year or two. Jerry will make him the highest paid coach in any sport.
I hope Kellen Moore realizes Jerry is not going to make him HC

And leaves for another team.
