Could Sean Payton pass on all head coaching jobs and return to television?
Right now Sean Payton has several teams showing interest in him to be their head coach. Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers along with the Broncos and Cardinals, but will Sean Payton return to coaching this year?
Albert Breer joined the Dan Patrick Show and he said he doesn’t think Payton will take a head coaching job this year, he thinks he will return to television one more year before taking a job.
Here is what Breer said:
“I sort of think he’s going to go back into TV. I think this is sort of a day-to-day-thing with him,” Breer said. “I know two things that are really important to him are geography and quarterback. I think staying close to Los Angeles would have been ideal for him.
“Arizona and Denver, can he win there? You look at the quarterback contracts in those two places … those contracts sort of lock those guys into those franchises for the next few years. Sean Payton, at his age, might only have one more shot at this. Does he want to hitch his future to Russell Wilson in Denver? Does he want to hitch his future to Kyler Murray in Arizona? I’m not sure that he does.”
Can you blame Payton if he does in fact return to television? I mean I would not want to come back to Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray. Breer makes sense. Maybe sit another year and pick a better home in 2024.
