notthatbluestuff Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Where do you think he ends up as HC in 2023 (if he even ends up coaching at all)? This article claims that Payton will bring Vic Fangio with him as DC: https://nation.lk/online/nfl-teams-hoping-to-hire-sean-payton-will-also-get-defensive-coordinator-vic-fangio-190223.html Quote Super Bowl winner Sean Payton has reportedly agreed to add defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to his growing staff, which is curious, considering the longtime New Orleans Saints head coach is currently without a team. Regardless of that fact, ESPN is reporting that the 58-year-old Payton is speaking with coaches about joining him wherever he does sign, and that includes Fangio, a former Denver Broncos head coach. Payton is still working as a Fox Sports analyst, but is widely believed to be returning to the NFL coaching ranks when this season ends.

Calamity_Cometh Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Fangio is still a damn good coordinator. Fascinating duo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Fangio’s awesome so it’s probably fine, but sort of presumptuous to start doing stuff like that before even getting to a new team, no? GM usually has hands in calls like that. Shrug. Unless Payton’s going to get full control or something and that’s part of it. He still has to be traded, right?

I remember reports of Urban Meyer assembling a staff while Doug Marrone was still employed by the Jags - everything worked out well for him and the "losers" he recruited. And yes I believe teams still have to trade for Payton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happens quite a bit for established coaches that work through their network to at least put out feelers for who would be interested in accepting a certain position. I can imagine Payton rolling in with a nice portfolio on his coaching staff preferences and even better if those coaches are already on board with the idea.

Idk if he would want to head to the dumpster fire that is Cleveland, but he would do wonders with Watson.

Nabbs4u Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 If you can name the Organizations willing to give up a minimum of at least one 1st rd pick, your list starts there. Payton can plan on coaching in 2023 all he wants but has no say in the matter. The Saints can hold onto him and play hard ball if they choose. Which they should until they get what they want in pick compensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Browns are out, no 1sts. I could see Dal and LAC giving up a late 1st but depending on how late, what else is NO going to ask for? Once again, they do not have to accommodate Sean Paytons desire to coach "now". Bears, Cards, Colts, Falcons really giving up a top 10 pick? It's basically a Tewo team race.

Could easily tank the year, make the team toxic, and it’s look terrible for the organization. Everyone loses there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
