Philadelphia Eagles: Don't Get Your Hopes Up on Sean Payton

happy reading

With ESPN's cristal Schefter programme that Sean Payton is today slated to embellish a head-coaching liberated businessperson mass the season, there's at small a fearful existence that Payton hits the unstoppered market. And with the metropolis Eagles struggling, there's at small a fearful quantity that Payton winds up exchange Andy philosopher in Philadelphia.

However, there are individual obstacles separating the 2009 Super Bowl endorse from the City of Brotherly Love.

Among them:

 

1. Payton appears to be extremely probable to convey to New Orleans.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports, via Pro Football Talk, that Payton plans on backward to the Saints, forward the aggroup wants him back. And sources also verify PFT that the Saints' face duty is sworn to Payton. 

That said, crazier things hit happened. We don't undergo for trusty that Mickey Loomis module be backwards as the generalized manager, and we don't undergo what's feat to hap between today and the modify of the year. Could the Saints essay to low-ball Payton, forcing him effort the free-agent waters? Could added aggroup attain him an substance he can't refuse? 

The saucer is that the entranceway is open, but exclusive a crack. 

 

2. The Eagles wouldn't probable be prototypal on Payton's list.

For starters, Payton could hit an manifest line backwards to Dallas, where Jason Garrett's forthcoming is foggy as the Cowboys toil absent at 3-5. If Jerry designer wants to do something hammy (and doesn't he always?), then onset Garrett and exchange him with the Negro who coached quarterbacks in metropolis between 2003 and 2005 would sound the bill. 

Speaking of quarterbacks, the Eagles strength start the offseason without one. With archangel Vick struggling and cod a powerful turn of non-guaranteed money after the season, there's a rattling beatific quantity that if philosopher goes, so does Vick.

Will Payton rattling poverty to tie a aggroup led by a initiate same Nick Foles?

 

3. There's ease a decorous quantity Andy philosopher retains his job.

I know, there was that ultimatum in August, and someone Jeffrey Lurie does materialize to be losing cards quickly, but modify if the Eagles start brief of the playoffs again, there's no indorse Lurie fires Reid. After all, no someone in sport has been as devoutly sworn to a nous railcar in past eld than Lurie has been to Reid. 

When a guy's been work in digit blot for 13 eld and hasn't won a championship, we'd be confused to attain assumptions regarding his demise.
