No, no, no, no, fug no.

Bounty-gate ass shouldn't be in the league.

Absolutely should've been banned for life. He and Gregg Williams both. I will never root for any team that employees either.

Lol not at all, Harbaugh is a QB guru and just all around elite coach. Comparing him to Fox and Rivera shows you don't know anything about him.

Current players mad that Wilks isn't hired.

Former players mad that Wilks wasn't hired AND the Bountygate prick is the new coach? While giving up a treasure trove of picks I'm sure? Whew, put a microphone in front of Smitty as soon as it happens if so. 

But, I think it's more of an "interview" to pick his brain and see what he says his plan would be. Which, I'd also take with a grain of salt since I doubt he'd give two shits about coming here. Unless Tom Brady followed him and then we all go insane having to root for those two.

Yeah I wouldn't give up our first round pick.  We need a QB more than we need a coach, in my estimation.  Of course if we don't draft one this year, that may mean we're expecting Darnold back.

Weird move. Guess we’re doing our due diligence but no way I give up our 1st for him 

If the Panthers could get Sean Payton without giving up draft picks, I would be all for trying get him. 

However, since that would be impossible and considering the obvious needs the Panthers have to retain draft picks, my opinion is he would cost to much to get.

We will get Mahommes and 10 draft picks from KC for Darnold, before we ever get a proven coach like Payton, plus the Aints will bankrupt whoever tries to get him out of spite

We are going to have to bet on an unknown I'm afraid

Bounty gate wasn’t that big a deal you pansies

I can’t say that hiring Payton would translate to a Lombardi trophy, but I can tell you that it would give us instant credibility among the league in attracting free agents, put a$$es in seats and drum up interest in the team. Does that translate to the W column, hard to tell. I personally believe if the get a rookie Head Coach we will have to go through a year or more on the learning curve. How to manage the game.

Then follow Sean Payton wherever he lands. I honestly don't want people who think this in this fanbase.

It’s also worth noting that history is against Payton in some ways. No head coach in NFL history has won Super Bowls with two different squads. He has also been blessed with Brees, a future Hall of Fame QB, for most of his career. The Saints went 9-8 in Payton’s only season without Brees. Payton has an impressive 152-89 regular-season coaching record. He took the Saints to the playoffs nine times in his 15 years as head coach. However, it’s worth noting that the Saints failed to get past the NFC Championship round after winning the Super Bowl in his fourth season on the job.

if we hire him, after what he has done, i won’t just quit the team until there’s another ownership change, i will be an active detractor of the franchise. Fug payton and fug anyone who supports him.

Yep.

I'm pretty sure people in every fanbase that got a Super Bowl winning coach thought they were on a path to championship glory.

Every single one of them, without fail, has been disappointed.

Hiring one of those guys guarantees nothing.

This news sucks. I was indifferent about our seeming lack of direction on this search. But it certainly feels like the worst feels are firmed up.

Sean Payton's not coming here. Asking price aside, he's too old and too experienced for Tepdaddy.
