1. I doubt Payton is holding this up, this is coming from lawyers and people who work contracts. Not the head coach.


Very wrong.
My good friend is a coach with the Saints and when a request to interview is made, it goes directly to Payton and he has 100% say on whether to allow it or not. It has happened with my friend twice and Payton said no both times (contacting party was an NFL team, though).
That said, even if he allowed an interview, if the coach is under contract (and every single one of them gets re-upped by one year each year, so they always have either 1 or 2 full years in front of them) it's possible that said coach's remaining contract may have to be bought out.

This isn’t Payton blocking an interview. That’s completely different.


This is a contractual issue.
