Twitter: Dan Campbell is Available!

[cowboy_ron]

Campbell might have picked up some stuff from working for Payton but he's not really the innovative play caller we need. He's more stoic, discipline guy.

He's about as good as you'll be able to get with a meddling owner.

I don’t know if Campbell is an X and O guy or not
Not sure how anyone would know till they interview him and see what he knows

He's never called plays. I'm sure he knows every offensive concept out there and how to defend it but again he's never called plays.

That’s why I say no one knows
He may be an innovative guy or dumb as a box of rocks
Other than sitting and talking with him just no way to know

Garrett + Campbell = two coaches who aren't X's and O's guys. Recipe for success I tell ya

Campbell has balls, Garrett has no balls, perfect combination!

 

[skinsscalper]

Pretty sure he can opt out if he wants.

He can. There was a clause in his contract that he can opt out if ownership changes hands. With Benson's passing, it has.

 

[Beaker42]

Nah...Moore is our guy.

We like OUR guys. Whatever. Time to look outside the trailer park.

 

[nightrain]

Ernie Zampese still available, too.

 

[_sturt_]

Nah...Moore is our guy.

I wouldn't totally diss that option.

But if you think so highly of that guy to do the job, what are you waiting for? Call the presser the day after you let Linehan go, if not the same day.

Nah. Moore's a fall back.

Not that fall backs haven't actually proven successful on occasion. But you don't want to be making a routine of that, now do you.

Is the team still with Benson’s family? If so, that may not qualify as a change in ownership.

It actually does. Benson was the SOLE owner of the team. Staying in the family doesn't disqualify an ownership clause.

It depends on how the clause is actually written as to whether that’s true, but you are probably right. Whether he was sole owner was really what I wasn’t sure of. If other family members were already part owners, or if the team was held in a Corp or other entity owned even in small part by other family members, that might be different.

Benson was the reason Payton re-upped with the Saints and the reason he had the clause added to his contract (no other HC currently has a similar clause). Benson's health was the reason the clause was added to begin with. I think it's safe to say that Payton is OK with the current ownership (that and the fact that Brees is still his QB). But, like Parcells said: Coaching the Cowboys is like playing the "big room" in Vegas. I don't think Payton is coming here, to be honest but don't think that Jones was pissing in the wind when he said last week that he wasn't going to make any proclamations regarding the staff when we might have an opportunity next week. Garrett hasn't been given that extension that was a lead pipe lock just a week ago, either.

Jones is at least going to make a run at Payton. Of that, I'm pretty sure. I'm just not certain Payton is ready to move on.

 

[_sturt_]

Brees has one more year on his contract.

I see practically zero reason to believe that Payton is going to be on the market.

Neither has Moore

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What on earth is up with the obsession over him?

 

[Valkyr]

Where is the 'Swiss Army Knife', Jeff Robinson?

 

[OmerV]

What on earth is up with the obsession over him?

Ask the media and fans. They are the ones that can’t stop talking even though they have no evidence of anything.

[john van brocklin]

Nah...Moore is our guy.
