I would bet Payton takes a year off

[youngjerryjones]

It might be good for us he said that..if Jerry knows he will go for the Raiders gig he might push harder

I heard another rumbling today about Payton. Said he might want the Raiders gig. There he could be the HC and de facto GM. Very interesting

Word is the Raiders lining GM and coach off Belichick tree. Josh McDaniel could be in play....

If he gets Troy's gig, the salary could be comparable if not more to what he was making with NO. Especially with Romo getting 18M per year. You have to figure the color guy on Fox's top team would be somewhat compareable salary wise. Payton was getting 9M per year from NO

I think if choses coaching over TV, its because he really wants to coach

I think he just needs a year off and the right opportunity.

 

[CowboyRoy]

He already said that.

How many years did he say he was taking off? Did he say he was definitely coming back to coaching? Im betting its one year.

Moved this thread back to the Fan Zone since it is Cowboys related.

Those coaches work a crap ton of hours with no family life. Granted, great pay but they still get burned out. Yes, he could be done forever or he might return. Only Payton knows that.

I mean look at the massive impact Gruden had after taking some time off.

Hot take by Roy

Pot meet kettle........
