Sean Payton will be coach for hire after suspension?
By NFL-EN | dave@nflen.com
The New Orleans Saints gave head coach Sean Payton a contract extension in 2011 which was due to run through the 2015 season, and the league voided that extension because of the language in the contract. With his contract set to expire after this season, what could happen?
NFL upholds penalties on Saints, sort of...
By Dave Brown
Earlier today the league announced that the penalties against the New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis, and assistant head coach Joe Vitt, will stay the same after their appeals process.
Payton got clarification on the suspension from the commissioner, Roger Goodell, on his suspension. Payton is to have no contact with his players or team that involves coaching. Goodell will review each suspension before making any reinstatement.
If the Saints personnel involved participate in the required programs and follow the terms of their suspensions, the Saints might get back a draft pick in 2013, though probably not the second round pick they lost when penalized. The Saints $500,000 fine might also get lowered, and Payton, Loomis, and Vitt might get some pay back from the time they were suspended.
Gregg Williams, did not appeal his suspension, and is out of football at the NFL level indefinitely.
Payton now has until April 16th to get some things done for the Saints, and somewhere near the top of that list has to be Drew Brees, who has yet to sign his one year franchise tag.
The NFL clearly wants to send a message here, and the teams and players need to listen carefully. For all the complaining we hear in the media about the NFL not caring about the health of their own players, then to have players participating in these types of programs, the NFL isn't going to tolerate it.
The hypocrisy has to stop.

Sean Payton may have new job

This wouldn't interfere with his coaching job, because Payton has been suspended for the full 2012 season as a result of the bounty program the New Orleans Saints were running.
