Payton is a smart, well connected dude. I've listened to a few of his interviews (that are people interviewing him, not bullshit production that is put on by whatever network he's working for these days.
I'm pretty sure it was the Russillo one I listened to that he came across as VERY measured, thoughtful and astute. He's certainly no Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards just floating around spewing ****ing cliches. And he was very articulate regarding what he was trying to do and what worked. I was genuinely impressed.
Accordingly, I would presume he knew what worked about Brees. From that perspective I wouldn't think he'd want any part of ****ing Kyler's dumbass. Payton is a grinder. Payton needs a grinder leading his team. Kyler ain't a ****ing grinder. Four years in, I think that much is true. I could be wrong here, it might be that Kliff is a dumb**** (I'm going with both are true), but from what I've seen to date I don't think there is much there that jives with what Payton wants to do.

I don't see the Chargers firing Staley after making the playoffs.
McVay isn't going anywhere.
The Dolphins aren't firing McDaniel.
He's not going to the shitshow that is the Denver Broncos.
Where else could he possibly go?

Chargers SHOULD fire Staley. I'd be ****ing furious if the Chargers went and did something ****ing brilliant like firing Staley for Payton. **** that would suck.
I don't think he'd want to go to the Rams.
**** Donk Forever.
I mean, Carolina is an option. They should have a draft pick coming.
Any chance Chicago could walk away from Eberflus? They don't look all that bad and are looking at the #2 pick. If Payton doesn't like Fields, he'd be in position to get a guy.
Indy? If they don't keep Saturday, they're in line for a #5 pick
Pete Carroll is a ****ing dinosaur. He could walk away (I think that's unlikely, but man he's ****ing old)
I think Brother****ing Cheatriot is an outside chance. Simmons laid it out in his podcast, Kraft is 81, Belicheat is 70 and a LONG way away, and they've had 4 years of suckage. Unlikely, but that's coming from Simmons.
There are always surprise firings.
Sidenote: How's the whole coach youth movement going, you ****s. Did anyone that ever had lunch with Sean McVay turn out to be Gods Gift to football? **** all these dumb mother****ers. They're not as bad yet, but they're approaching Brother****ing Cheatriot territory.
