Former NFL head coach Sean Payton continues to loom as a future NFL head coach.<\/p>\n
The Carolina Panthers reportedly are \u201ceyeing\u201d Payton for the team’s head-coaching job in 2023, according to Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com.<\/p>\n
That would be regarded as good news by Mike McCarthy of the Dallas Cowboys, since Payton is most commonly linked to the job McCarthy currently holds.<\/p>\n
The Saints continue to hold Payton’s rights. Before another team could talk to him, the Saints and that team would have to strike a deal regarding potential compensation, if he would enter into a contract with the new team. The Saints could, if they so choose, flatly refuse to release Payton’s rights for a division rival.<\/p>\n
Somewhat surprisingly, the Panthers issued a statement on the matter. \u201cWe would not talk to – or consider – a coach who’s under contract with another team,\u201d the team said.<\/p>\n
Current Panthers coach Matt Rhule may have preferred something more along the lines of, “We have a coach.”<\/p>\n
Currently, they do. By 2023, who knows?<\/p>\n
Before the draft, owner David Tepper pledged his \u201cfull support\u201d to Rhule.<\/p>\n
It’s not the first time Payton has been linked to another team. Earlier this year, the Dolphins admitted to contacting the Saints about hiring him, after he resigned to cap a 15-year run in New Orleans. Also, Playmakers<\/em> details an incident that nearly resulted in the Cowboys hiring Payton in 2019, with a very unlikely twist keeping it from happening.<\/p>\n For 2022, Payton is expected to work in broadcasting. Via McCarthy, Payton recently told Morten Andersen that an announcement is coming in a matter of days. The finalists are Fox and Amazon.<\/p>\n By next year, the finalists to employ Payton could be NFL franchises.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Getty Images Former NFL head coach Sean Payton continues to loom as a future NFL head coach.
