Does this mean he's free or would boys still need to compensate Saints?

He's not free. If he suddenly came back, they'd have him under contract.

 

[Bowdown27]

Here come the rumors!!!

it doesn’t say he’s retiring just leaving the saints.

he may pull a McCarthy and take s year off.

 

[nobody]

Please...Saints. PLEASE hire Moore as your HC for next season.

 

[J12B]

Go get him Jerry and fire the fat guy!

Seeing mixed reports on this, I guess he can retire than 3 months from now say he's changing his mind and boys can hire him without compensation

LOL this place

Sean Payton has the same criticisms as McCarthy. Coaches that had legendary QBs and not many trophies to show for it. In a couple years it will be this place screaming for Mike Tomlin.

Depends if they come to agreement on retirement payout

That's not how it works unless the Saints voided his contract.

He will take a year off, then see what his options are.
And I do not blame him at all.

 

[TRUTH87]

dallas probably gives MM one more year. if he fails again, Jerry will hire SP.

 

[ShortRound]

Rumors are all over the place on twitter on him and cowboys.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Hope he says no to Jerry in 2023. No more veteran coaches who have lost their hunger and motivation and will see the Cowboys/Jerry as an easy paycheck.

Yep. He gets same ultimatum Garrett got his last year. NFC title or bust.

Apparently you missed getting robbed from a super bowl with one of the worst calls in nfl history, you also missed the idea that he had the Saints this season with a winning record and Jameis Winston with 12 tds to only 3 int's. Payton is one of two current coaches with 150 or more wins, he's a top 3-5 coach in the league, says everyone. Comparing Fat Mike to him is like saying Dak is as good as Brady they both threw for over 4,000 yards..

Smart.

Why watch his stock drop while he has no QB?

He will be the center of every rumor 11 months from now and have his choice of options.

I think he's going to TV land as an NFL announcer.
