In my heart I believe every word you posted here bro. My only question would be if there is a price point that over rides any and all coaching integrity that Payton would give in to in order to line up his retirement portfolio like this current sellout of a HC has done.
Fellow CZ poster yinyammer referred to these compromising character traits as desperation and pliability.
I hope Payton would show neither and his stipulation to be hired would be full autonomy or not accept the job.
Like I previously posted, I hope money would not change my personal image of the Coach Payton that I respect now.
I was never a McCarthy guy from day one.
I think it's fair to say that Sean Payton needs a rest from the rigors of being a HC and has opted to be a commentator, instead. Whatever keeps him from being inclined to sign on with the Cowboys as their HC is anyone's guess, although he likely knows his decisions would be up for some questioning and possible interference by Jerry and the Dallas hierarchy. I think we might have been fortunate to have Payton as our HC, under better circumstances.
I'm not especially inclined to prejudge McCarthy, since he has yet to display a fair amount of time to prove himself. It won't be an easy task to operate successfully with Jerry and Stephen to overcome as his cohorts. I'm sure he'll be put under close scrutiny this year. It's a tough thing for anyone to take on the task of making this team a success, despite what is expected of them. The exodus of so many players this year will be hard to overcome.
