Their rollout seemed well executed because there was zero equity before hand. Almost unfair to expect the same.

The Saints are $74 mil over the cap in 2022, the next closest is the Packers at $40 mill over. No franchise QB, no money to spend...it shouldn't be any surprise Sean Payton decided to leave

Sean Payton looked at that cap situation, glanced at his QB depth chart and said ✌️

Sean Payton leaving the Saints as they're about to stare down the consequences from years of YOLO spending and draft-pick trades is like bailing after you and your buddies burned down an Air BnB following a week-long rager.

Gotta respect it.

If Mike McCarthy gets knocked for winning just one Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers, why doesn’t Sean Payton get knocked for winning just one Super Bowl with Drew Brees?

Cowboys lose in playoffs. Sean Payton steps down in Nola.

One doesn’t lead to other. But for those who insist the grass is greener, a comparison.

Mike McCarthy
143-92-2 (.608)
Division titles: 7
SB titles: 1

Sean Payton
152-89 (.631)
Division titles: 7
SB titles: 1

Looking at Saints cap situation + new HC + QB uncertainty, I'd be calling trying to enquire about their star vet players. That could be a rebuild situation and they have some stud vets.

It's 29 minutes into this presser and there's no end in sight yet to Sean Payton's opening statement. So, yes, he could do TV just fine.

By the time Sean Payton is finished with this press conference, he might be ready to come back to coaching.

Jim Caldwell went 2-14 in a year where his QB went neck surgery and is 60-36 otherwise. As an OC, he won a Super Bowl with Joe Flacco playing way better than he ever has before or after at QB. He's more than overqualified to be a head coach again.
