Not sure how I feel about trading for a HC who isn't necessarily even remotely guaranteed to be successful.

It would be a gamble but Payton is the ideal candidate.... In theory anyway.


If the compensation is low, I'm all for it.


Maybe it is coincidental but maybe not. We'll see.

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if we got him, but he seems like a wild card

I think he would do wonders for Bortles.

Considering that it's all but a given that Caldwell is going to stick around and Bortles will be given a far stronger chance than he deserves, trading for a HC like Payton that can't refuse might be the best option. God knows it's going to be super hard if not impossible to get any other proven top of the line offensive coach to come here on their own volition at this point.

Can you clarify what you mean by wonders for Bortles? Are you just saying he would instill an offense that complements his flaws, or do you think he would have a team in place that would constantly work on his mechanics?

Doug Marrone was an OC under Payton so that connection would be there. If the price was right, I'd be cool with Payton. Heck, just leave the defensive staff as is an let him focus completely on the offense.

@jasonlacanfora Saints aren't expected to ask for much to trade Sean Payton during offseason - https://t.co/8YWtYT4QKi https://t.co/md1NJ2fVwG



Hes the big name experienced coach we need.

Only if Brees comes with him as a package deal.   :thumbsup:

I think both to be honest.
