Haven't been following the details of this.

Did Payton promote or endorse the program? Or did he simply allow it to take place?

From what has been reported, he allowed it to happen.

Wow....that's harsh beyond belief. The NCAA needs some sack like Goodell.

Not really a Goodell fan, but I'm with him on this one. Message needs to be sent that this isn't the 1960's anymore.

Holy Crap. Asserting some authoritay.

I obviously don't want players hurt and this type of thing should be outlawed, but it seriously feels like when I'm watching football in thirty years I might be watching guys wearing padding that resembles the giant hot dog guys that run around the ballpark.

Knowingly allowed it to happen, and possibly deceived investigators (I can't fully verify or dismiss the latter at the moment).

What do you do if you're the Saints?

Do you toss Payton and go ahead and find your new guy? Do you let someone come on for the year and see how he does and make a decision then? Or do you just find someone to fill in and let them know that they have one year and one year only?

Because you're not allowed to turn someone into a vegetable?


It's always been one thing to hit someone hard to shake or rattle them but it's another though to intentionally seek out to injure or debilitate.

No way do they get rid of Payton. He is too good of a coach.

That organization is a mess right now though, all this and Brees being pissed off about being franchise tagged.

The moral and ethical thing to do is fire him, especially if he lied to investigators as some reporters are now insinuating.

If he lied to investigators, he has to go.

Interim or completely new hire.

Just depends in how much faith/good favor the saints organization still see towards Payton, as well as to what degree the organization feels with regards to if this is the kind of thing they want to/feel they need to distance themselves from.

My guess is him winning a SB bought a lot of good favor.

Just look at how fast the NFL seems to move. They're going to be losing a guy for a year- even if the interim coach is of the same staff/tree as Payton, they aren't going to run things the same way. Those players are going to be under a new system for a year, then would have to go back to Payton. Is it still worth it? It may be, and I'm not in their front office, so I don't know.

On the other hand, you could go ahead and get a new guy, clean your hands of this stuff, and begin working towards the future.

All valid points, but at this time who in the world would you get? I just saw the posts about him potentially lying to investigators and that could be a wild card. With what I know as of right now I would say they don't fire him but again if he lied and they know that for sure then that could change.
