Sean Payton Q & A with the Times Pic

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton has stayed under the radar since beginning his unprecedented season-long suspension in April. And he'll continue to do so this fall, having decided against working on television as an analyst during the season.
Suspended New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton says he's watched every Saints preseason game this season.But make no mistake, Payton has remained plugged in to everything his team is doing.
During a wide-ranging conversation with The Times-Picayune on Tuesday, Payton said he has watched every one of the Saints' preseason games. And he's "taken out a few pads and papers to take some notes," hoping that his unfamiliar new perspective might inspire a few ideas.
Payton said he has also followed closely as the players who were suspended along with him have been fighting the NFL's bounty allegations in court. Payton admitted that it's been hard to stay quiet while serving his suspension and that it's "frustrating at times to sit back and hear a lot of things that have been painted in a certain way that you know aren't true."

T-P: A lot of people noticed how fit you looked when you showed up to see the team at the Hall of Fame ceremonies last month. Is that something else you've had more time for this year? PAYTON: "Just now as we're talking, I'm pulling up to this Crossfit gym. I've been working out with this, and I've never had much experience before with it. It's kind of tough with our schedules, and now I have more time to work with. It's one of the things that's been on my list."

T-P: Do you have any regrets about how you handled the NFL's allegations initially? Commissioner Roger Goodell implied that the Saints were not cooperative during the process, which may have led to stiffer punishments. Do you wish you had handled things better during the investigation or appeals process?
PAYTON: "No. We tried to do everything possible to show as much as cooperation as possible."
Which totally goes against the narrative given by the league.
I remember when the story first came out, and how they said the Saints were warned repeatedly to stop, and that they ignored their warnings. I remember being really pissed at the staff of how they could be so arrogantly stupid.
I don't think they were. I think that story is bullshite. I think if the NFL came towards them asking about a bounty program, they didn't take them seriously because they didn't have one.
Keep in mind no evidence has come forward to implicate Vilma laying 10k to take out Favre, and multiple players and Vitt have testified under oath that they did not try to injure players nor was any money put on players for injury.
What pisses me off is stupid shite like when the news out lets reported that there was a bounty put on Mike Karney, when all the frick they showed about him was a damn slide talking about how he sucked at his job.

T-P: "What is the main thing or things that the NFL got wrong with its accusations or its punishments, in your mind?"
PAYTON: "I'd rather not get into it specifically, because we could elaborate for an hour."

I run the offense. The head coach is Brennan Hardy,
Wow, on his own son's team, he doesn't get to be head coach.

well yeah, he more than likely doesn't want to.
Especially considering it would push somebody out that was probably already in the position.

Can't wait for the season opener next year to give this man a standing ovation.

wonder if he'll rent a manlift to watch the practices above? Gruden did that when he assisted his son's HS football team.

PAYTON: "Listen, it's hard to do. And we're in a much different position than the players, in regards to players having a union. I think ultimately our goal is to get reinstated at the right time. Yeah, it's frustrating at times to sit back and hear a lot of things that have been painted in a certain way that you know aren't true. But that being said, I support every one of those guys and pay close attention to what's going on with Jon and the rest of those players and Mickey (Loomis) and Joe (Vitt) and everyone."
this is very telling....that's why none of them will say anything...

I don't think the dome will stop yelling/cheering/clapping for a good 15-20 mins

Payton is running the offense for his son's sixth-grade football team in the Dallas area - the Liberty Christian Warriors, who are off to a 1-0 start after a 30-0 victory on Saturday. Payton is using the same terminology he uses in the Saints' offense, though there are only 12 plays on the players' wristbands on game days.
Dude just has to dominate.
