Jason Garrett isn’t the answer in Dallas and should have been fired with Wade Phillips. That being said, we don’t want a one hit wonder, stat chaser like Sean Payton either.

He isn’t leaving the Saints regardless of free agency or not. Then we will all see they are just a bad team regardless of who is coaching.

Someone will give him a fat contract(Browns,Cheifs, Eagels,Raiders,ect.). He needs the money to keep his nose full of Rx pills.

Go Falcons!
======================================
and falcon fans wonder why they don’t get coverage on a national basis. Saints coach gets more press away from football than dirty birds get with top billing.

Sean might be in favor of this anyway. Considering how the Saints are playing without him, he’s due for a bigger salary than what he would have gotten from that contract.

Since the final decision on contracts has to be made by the idiot commissioner, expect a decision to take many many months, if not years, because as a moron, Goodell can’t ever just make a decision.

You would think this would be a no brainer since Payton is a super bowl winning coach but with Payton’s disciplinary history plus the reputation he has around the league as somebody who is kind of a bully, I wonder who would be a more sought after HC this offseason, Payton or Chip Kelly? Of course, this whole story needs to be true first.

Payton already turned down an offer to coach the Raiders years ago – because of the “Owner as GM” model they followed.

So why would he say Yes to doing it with the Cowboys with Jerry Jones there as the GM?

Only way he coaches the Cowboys is if he can bring his own GM with him . . .

ExtenSion was signed in 2011 and now in 2012 the NFL still hasn’t made a decision? Not buying it. Sounds more like Schefter broke news NFL wasn’t ready to deal with yet.

Us Tampa fans think Sean Payton would would be an excellent head coach either in Dallas, Philadelphia or San Diego….Anywhere but the NFC South….

The commish is already on thin ice here. He’ll probably be eating in his hotel room all Super Bowl week, since no restaurant he is going to serve him.
If this plays out with Payton free to walk, he’ll need Blackwater Security guys escorting he everywhere.

“With all the heat Goodell has taken over suspending Payton, does anyone really think Goodell would let Payton walk away under circumstances that would make Saints fans even more angry at Goodell and the league office?”

**************************************

Well, Goodell has proven himself to be pretty stupid. It would not surprise me a bit if he did another ridiculously stupid thing

Seriously—why does ESPN keep lying about the Saints? They only report pro-Goodell bounty stories. And don’t forget the Mickey Loomis wiretapping story.

Does anyone truly believe that Payton would walk away from the saints? He has Free reign in the organization which is something I don’t think JJ in Dallas would concede. He has a Future HOF qb that he is seemingly joined at the hip with that is signed long term. I know he has a connection with Romo but Romo isn’t Drew Brees and never will be close.. Calm down people

We’ll only collude if the Cowboys try to hire him.

If his contract doesn’t toll, this is complete crap. He can’t negotiate a contract while he’s suspended. There is no way the NFL will be allowed to in effect move Sean Payton to another team. If a player is suspended for a year, their contract tolls for a reason.
