I’m legit asking what the punishment would have been if he was still the coach

Miami got punished for what they did via contact. CSP got punished I quess you could say by looking like a arse for said contact and not being able to coach for 3 years via Saints holding his contract.

Assuming all of this is correct (no reason to doubt that it isn't), the Saints are the only "victim" in this scenario. And the end result is they lose the only coach in the history of the franchise, flawed as he was, that was consistently worth a damn, make some shitty draft trades costing us a top 5 pick, start the follow-up season 4-9 making his replacement a lame duck, and to date, garner no compensation for losing said coach.

I wish I could say that is unprecedented for this franchise, but it doesn't even make the top 10.
