If I was a GM looking to save my job and needed to make a splash hire to buy at least another two years I would go with Payton too.  Closest you can get to a can't miss.

Bro, fitt don't have anything to do with who we hire.  Tepper is a dummy

I need the nitty gritty on this one, theres no way he stayed because they are "building something special". He was lining up interviews this past week.

Me thinks he wanted come here but he figured out that once New Orleans accepted our offer to allow an interview Payton to Carolina was a sure thing

So interview for the practice.

Just seems odd to pull out at the last second.

That’s always been the problem with the Panthers. Conflicts of interest of what the team needs vs what makes the current GM comfortable. #fireFitts

Word from the insiders is that Nicole Tepper thinks that Steichen is “dreamier.”

[cookinbrak]

Why be a head coach and make millions when you can be an OC and make much less?

Never believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

I get the feeling Tepper does not want to gamble on an unknown again. If Rhule 2.0 happened he could be ran out of town lol. So Payton makes sense.

I was about to type the same thing until I saw your post. Honestly, I think they may well be on the way to building something special in Detroit. That franchise has been mediocre for so long that I'd like to see them succeed. With Rodgers aging, the Vikings continously falling short when it matters most, and the Bears being the Bears, the Lions could rule that division for the next several years.

The one thing people aren't accounting for with the Saints is that they may be flat out unwilling to trade Sean Payton to the Panthers, so this could be particularly brutal news.

As someone who has lived in Michigan my entire life outside of being in Arizona for college, I can say with 100% confidence that this post was made by someone who has zero clue about Detroit and the surrounding areas.

First of all, Downtown Detroit has actually gotten really nice in the last 10 years, to where there are very expensive and nice places to live in downtown proper, it's once you go outside of that area to where it gets sketchy.

But beyond that, the suburbs are only a 20ish minute drive away for a nice comfortable living, and if you go a further 10-20 minutes further north than that, you get into multi million dollar homes on sprawling pieces of land.

Just saying

From someone who grew up at, and lives at the beach in NC....I couldn't imagine ever living in that part of the country...no matter how expensive the homes are.

That said....I'd say the same thing about most any "mega city" throughout the nation.

But then we'd have to not believe this if it was read aloud, or half of it if read silently?  I am so confused!

But if they allowed the Panthers to talk to him, it seems that the compensation is all that is left to discuss. Maybe the Panthers get the "NFC South" rate.
