OT: Sean Payton - Broncos HC

[richpjr]

Listening to him talk Football is the Best. No was Stanley understands football like Payton. I love him saying you have to have tough conversations with owner so you don’t have them once you have the job.

ownership is more important than QB to him. He is definitely not interested in Chargers

He absolutely is interested in the Chargers. Sadly, the Chargers are seemingly not interested in him.

Feels like 2013 all over again when we missed out on Reid.

We are not a serious organization. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

So we just going to let this guy change coordinators every year instead of holding him accountable? Was that change forced upon him? I think most of us agree he was told to reign in his 4th down gambling.

if I’m Spanos I seen telesco hire his third coach with diminishing returns I’m not letting Staley play musical coordinators to shift the blame.

I was reading a story about how Andy Reid wanted the chargers job it was thought after Marty and Norv retreads we wanted someone one young and new. Well it hasn’t worked 3 tries now so try the retread again because they were more successful.

plus you had Herbert already Staley had an important job when he got hired not to fuck up the offense. Lombardi wasn’t his first choice. We going to let him reach further in to his address book to try and mess up the offense more when you have elite coaching that has led historical passing offenses in this league coveting the job.

My point was, ST were a problem and he replaced his ST coach. The O is a problem so this speculative notion that he will be told to fire Lombardi rather than come to that conclusion himself is just a wild ass guess.

And to clarify, Telesco did not hire McCoy - Dean, John and Ed McGuire hired Ron Wolf to help them find the coach after Norv. When McCoy was fired, John and Telesco hired Lynn. After Lynn was fired, Dean stuck his nose and was intimately involved in hiring Staley with Telesco. So while Telesco can be the fall guy for the Spanos if they want, but it's not like Dean's fingerprints aren't all over the Staley and McCoy hires.

Man, don't tell me this. It's already been a hard enough week for us.

Man, don't tell me this. It's already been a hard enough week for us.

it’s a fact. And news just broke that Lombardi and Day are taking the fall and getting the ax. Once again reinforcing the Spanos inability to learn from their mistakes and make the tough decisions and financial investment to win a championship! *UCK!!!!!!

Does this make you feel better?

Staley is staying. Can we close this thread?

Andy Reid first five years in KC playoff record: 1-4.
Sean Payton first 3 years, only made playoffs once. 1-1 record. Playoff record after winning superbowl: 5-7, missed playoffs 2014, 2015, 2016, 2021

I remember Reid being painted as a choker whose team always lost in the first round of the playoffs. Like the Buccaneers under Dungy who got fired for it and the Bucs paid a ransom for Gruden and won the Superbowl immediately.

This coaching stuff is not as simple as us armchair guys think it is.

May as well leave it open for this time next season.

This thread should be left open until Sean Payton accepts a new head coaching job. Like Cap'n said: in January 2024 for the Chargers.

With a Justin Herbert throwing for 5000 yards in one of those seasons?? I am guessing those other coaches didnt have one of those to start with

Well, it was fun to daydream for the past 48 hrs.
