NBC Sports-Dallas Cowboy rumors aren't going away for Sean Payton-PFT

[Hardline]

The only reason the rumors aren't going away is because some people are stupid enough to buy into them.

He's not coming here.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I don't see Jerry firing his adopted son. Carrot gets promoted to an "front office" position and SP comes in as HC. Don't misinterpret this as my endorsement for SP as HC.

 

[Alexander]

They won't go away until he signs a new contract with the Saints.

He will be the coaching version of Earl Thomas. The chatter won't stop until it is really over even though it already is over.

 

[cowboyblue22]

regardless he would be a upgrade over Jason garrett at lest he has been to and won a divisional playoff game

 

[Chocolate Lab]

At least if we don't win with SP, we'll all be happy and content.

At least we'd know Jerry was actually trying to hire the best coach he could rather than hoping and gambling he could win with a comfortable family friend.

 

[ShiningStar]

what is the excitement over Payton anyway? id love to a good arguement for him.

He's better than Garrett.

 

[JayFord]

I guess this is the new earl thomas

 

[CouchCoach]

LMAO at that tool saying the rumors won't go away. Really? Florio is the most likely to hang clothes out back on the line so he can exchange gossip with Mrs. Bickers.

Are ya’ll sure about SP’s greatness? He crapped the bed big time against you guys last year.

Go re-watch the game. Not saying he isnt better than you have but it’s not a huge separation in coaching ability between redball and SP IMHO.

I agree. If you look at their W/L starting from 2011 (that's Garrett's first full year), you will see that they are almost identical.
Garrett: 72-56 (3 playoff games)
Payton: 76-52 (4 playoff games)

 

[JayFord]

He's better than Garrett.

By 20 country miles

 

[Pantone282C]

He would if it was another first round exit.

Or a non-playoff season.

 

[Pantone282C]

Maybe it's just a smoke screen for someone else to come in. Or, motivation for JG.

 

[Corso]

By 20 country miles

Is that measured with the metric system?
Divisible's of ten pleases me.

 

[cern]

Garrett and Payton are both under contract with their respective teams. This doesn't even qualify as a rumor. Bozotic.

 

[JoeKing]

No need to bicker about this. I say we play for head coaching pink slips this coming season. If we win, we get Sean Payton, if the Saints win they can have Jason Garrett and we still win. Who likes my idea?

 

[Alexander]

I really wish that reference would just drop out of the collective lexicon. We don't "smokescreen" anyone.

I'm pretty sure that Payton won a Super Bowl. If Garrett had a Super Bowl win, then yeah I would agree they are the same. But I don't believe Garrett will ever win a Super Bowl as head coach. He will more than likely get promoted up in the organization to save face of no other team being interested in him, no matter what JJ says.

 

[CowboyRoy]

It’d be fun. Then we could start complaining about how Payton somehow forgot everything he knows now. That’d be something different.

Are you now claiming that Garrett is better than Payton? You even cut up sb winning coaches in defense of your hero Garrett.

A Very Possible Scenario

The Cowboys completely bomb in 2019 and finish 7-9.
The New Orleans Saints give Drew Brees the big ride into the sunset
with a 12-4 season ending with... (insert your prediction here).

With Brees now gone, Payton is looking to be in the 'Big Room', as Parcells said.
I believe he still has the option to opt-out of his contract.

Now remember, this is not a prediction. There is no agenda or tinfoil hat conspiracy.
Just a fun story to tell, that just happens to be a possible outcome. Feel free to play along.
