Merged: Dolphins expected to inquire about Sean Payton's availability

Dolphins and Colts Inquire about Sean Payton

How would this work out? Will we try to trade for him or ask the saints to release him from his contract? How much do you think he's worth if we do try trade for him? Also, what do you think he can do with this team as of right now and going into the future?

Well, damn.

 

If the Colts go far then how you justify them firing their head coach. Come to us Payton...

 

Or he might be scared off that the colts are going after him with a coach in place and the team still being in the thick of things.

 

LMAO. thats an easy choice to make. lol. he will use miami to get the money he wants from indy

 

same situation that 49ers had with harbaugh

 

But like I said before Indy has a coach in place and still in the thick of things.

 

It's close but, I think I'd take Steven Ross over Jim Irsay for a boss.

 

good to know they have confidence in dan

 

Also, Sean Peyton gushes over Dan Campbell and would most likely retain him. A HC that can actually call a great game and an OC with a huge nut sack. Can't remember the last time I saw that around here.

 

Chance to coach andrew luck vs the chance to coach tannehill. tough choice.

 

People think Sean Payton will be available...why?

 

I'm talking about who your boss is, not who your QB is. It's still close though, even though one is a mettling loon of a drug addict.

 

How can anyone justify Luck being a Hall of Famer... seriously. This is only his 4th year in the league.

 

Nice to see people trying to make this a Luck vs Tannehill debate. Not how the colts already have a coach in place and the team in a good spot to do something this year. Also, not how they have a legit crazy owner.

 

People were saying that kind of **** about Luck before he was drafted even.

 

He is an Interim and basically coaching for the job as they stated. I see nothing wrong in them trying to see if a real good coach is available.

 

This is a nothing story, it's just speculation, he's under contract for 2 more years.

 

Teams can trade for him or Sean wanting out of his contract. I would like to hear more to see if it's something or nothing. The Saints run is coming to an end and maybe he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuilding project with an aging QB. Also, the team being in cap hell.

 

I can't think of one good established coach that would want to work for this joke of an organization.

 

*Wayne Campbell pose* "Shyeah....and monkeys might fly outta my butt"
Pure speculation, I wish I could write for a living. My first article would be titled
"Dolphins may look to upgrade offensive line in offseason ".

 

A little too early to say this, don't ya think?

 

The Colts would have to fire their GM if they want Payton and I'm not sure they're going to do that. The Saints owner is pushing 90 and is health is declining, his family have filed lawsuits against each other trying to take control of the franchise. That franchise is a mess.

 

I think we'd have to trade a high draft pick. Indy might honestly be willing to trade their 1st rounder or a package to get him, I wouldn't think that we would try to match that. If he's fired I would certainly hope that we make a play at him.

 

Ross will still be clueless about how he is just looked at as a tool.

 

Isn't there a rule in the NFL about Head Coaches cannot step back with the same organization for at least a year ? Besides that could cause more problems retaining someone that could be an eventually distraction. The only way he stays now is to be given the full title, if not I believe he has to go.

 

With a Super Bowl ring.....what does Stephen Ross have but multiple eggs on his face ?

 

So he comes to another team in cap hell (thanks to Tannenbaum)

 

That's more of a possibility.

 

I think having Tannebaum with so much power over football operations will prevent a coach like Payton from having any interest in the Dolphins job. With his experience, I am sure Payton would want more control than Tannebaum and Ross would be willing to cede to him.
I suspect the best the Dolphins will be able to do with Tannebaum will be Mangini or McDaniels and neither of them are huge upgrades at the head coaching position, IMO.

 

Payton will pick Indy over Miami, easy. Not because of Luck though. Because the Colts have already gotten blown out by two AFCE squads, will probably get blown out by NE (again). Meanwhile they are 3-0 vs the AFCS with Luck missing two of those games.

The NFL really screwed Miami by putting Indy in the south instead of the southernmost team in the league.

 

Unfortunately the decision to put the Colts in the AFC South and keep the Dolphins in the AFC East was because Huizenga didn't want to lose the two games against the Jets and Patriots each year. He convinced the other NFL owners to leave the Dolphins in the same division as their long time rivals.

At the time the Dolphins were still a competitive team in the AFC East and no one could foresee that the AFC South would become such a weak division, while the Patriots would basically control the AFC East for more than a decade.

 

I get the reasons but I'll take wins over salvaging rivalries.

The thing is Sean knows and likes Campbell so he probably wont want to pursue this job in respect to Dan.

Very much a possibility, even if Campbell has a rough go of it.

Thing is, as opposed to the introverted Phailben, if Campbell shows promise, he may actually have the kind of outward substance worthy of developing into a HC.

An outspoken determination and obvious passion to succeed. Someone who's first words uttered reflect the very task which has become most paramount here.

To change the losing culture that has now blanketed, and virtually smothered this organization for over a decade. A stench that generally doesn't leave willingly, but has to be driven out.

Oddly enough, the rare kind of exorcism that Sean Payton performed for his Sainthood.
