CC - Sean Payton on talk of him leaving New Orleans: “It’s silly. It won’t happen.”
No surprise, if you take him at his word. Not someone I ever considered a realistic candidate. But, his name has been mentioned, therefore... post.

After Harbaugh, I sure as hell would.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
A Super Bowl winning coach?! YUP. I want him.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
I'm very uneasy with hiring guys who have no college head coaching experience.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:23 PM ^
Why are you uneasy about guys who have been head coaches and not about coordinators??
December 11th, 2014 at 7:06 PM ^
Exactly. Both have question marks, just different kinds
December 11th, 2014 at 7:19 PM ^
no sense, IMO. But it is a free country...
December 11th, 2014 at 6:21 PM ^
it's a moot point since it's not happening, but payton has a similar college coaching record as bill o'brien prior to psu.
December 11th, 2014 at 7:19 PM ^
I thought this was obvious sarcasm, until I read your next post.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:52 PM ^
Doesn't mean anything one way or another. The likelyhood of him coming here is the same after this comment as it was before (still approximately 0.0% chance imho).
December 11th, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
Okay. Can those who were on the Sean Payton bandwagon just stop it now?
December 11th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
but even if i was, why would I? Guy is young, charasmatic, a good motivator and would probably kick ass on the recruiting trail and has won a SB. WTF is there not to like?
December 11th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
I wasn't talking to you.
At least I wasn't addressing you specifically. However, if you want to waste time thinking about fantasies, have at it. Enjoy your teen years. Tell your mom I said hi.

Not only have I never had an mlive account, I've never even been on an mlive message board. I don't know what you're talking about.
Regardless, I never said there wasn't plenty to like about Sean Payton, because there is. I was, briefly, excited about the possibility. I then found out that he had an $8M+ salary and is (probably) the highest paid coach in all of football. He's not leaving that gig.

No, I was drinking 12 year old single malt scotch. I commented on someone else's vodka. Get it straight.
December 12th, 2014 at 7:43 AM ^
you keep being a dick on here, I could care less if you drank a combination of sewer water and Popov. So let's recap this really quick - I come on here asking a rhetorical question about Payton as to why one wouldn't want him here. Your response is to assume I'm a teen and make a reference to relations with my Mom. In addition to the fact that 3 days ago you were also excited about his potential hiring as am I. That's Mlive/lowest common denominator material there.
December 12th, 2014 at 7:53 AM ^
Dude, my first post on here wasn't in response to your question. My comment about getting off of the Sean Payton bandwagon was in general and not directed to you.
I don't think you had even posted in here when I made that comment.
You replied to that comment and sounded a little butt-hurt, so I busted your chops a little.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
Not that I ever thought he was a realistic choice, but this doesn't mean much. Even if he was planning on leaving NO, he wouldn't say it now and in public. His team still has a great shot at winning the division.

Sad, isn't it? Meanwhile, the Lions may very well miss the playoffs if they finish 10-6

Need body language analysis to confirm.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:58 PM ^
What did his body language say? That is what we need.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:59 PM ^
December 11th, 2014 at 6:09 PM ^
And that is clearly because harbaugh has already signed on the dotted line, bought his ann arbor house, and is coming to michigan.
December 11th, 2014 at 7:06 PM ^
December 11th, 2014 at 6:01 PM ^
Good, he's the best coach we've ever had in New Orleans, and 1 bad season doesn't change that
December 11th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
Could he be saying no because he wants the job but knows that Harbaugh has already agreed to take it???!!1/!11/??!???!?
December 11th, 2014 at 6:17 PM ^
December 11th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
Well shit, there goes our .00001% chance of getting Sean Payton.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
Seems like this is every thread these days.

He's not coming to Michigan, but New Orleans is going to be a trainwreck next year, and he's just watching it slowly crash. It wouldn't absolutely shock me if he took another NFL job because he doesnt' want to be stuck in rebuild mode

Only two years ago, Payton signed a contract that pays him $8 million a year, and he’s believed to be the highest-paid coach in the sport of football. It seems awfully unlikely that he would walk away from that.
Granted, coaching is a different monster than my little world, but at the $8 million level....yeah, you'd have to make that move as an executive because I like what I do at that point.
December 11th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^

Would have loved him here, but the idea that he would leave NO was crazy.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:31 PM ^
Its only silly until it isn't.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
I could see Miles to Michigan, Payton to LSU happening if things shake out a certain way. Payton would be a great teacher for Michigan's young QBs though.

THATS WHAT SABAN SAID.
48 hours before doing exactly what he said he wouldn't do.
Ditto RR... he was asked about UM job in a presser, early after Carr left, and he laughed about it. Three weeks later...
It might be silly now, but, by Xmas, who knows. I'm not saying it's going to happen, or would happen; just that these laughing-off denials don't mean anything.
