Same thing I was thinking les

Who's to say he doesnt spend most of the week in Nola anyway during the season?

He can do most of the offseason work from Dallas I'd assume.

What is the cost of a daily roundtrip from Dallas to New Orleans on a private jet. I know SP makes good cash, but damn, this would drain any personal bank account fairly quickly.


I'm sure he isn't going to be flying back and forth every day.

Gregg Williams' family lives in TEN.


Troof....Greg got himself a condo on the outskirts of the FQ that he shares w/ his son.

They say that often as not, during the season, they just sleep at the Practice facility.

People shoul dnot compar their lives to the lives of professional coaches. THe families are use dto being apart, long commutes and spending tons of cash. This is not an ordinary situation.

Very nice subdivision BTW....

DBG, I'd really hope he spends most of the week in NOLA during the season.

because he doesn't deserve props in that regard. Sean Payton saved his job. He'll even tell you that. He didn't go from some bean counter to a great talent evaluator over night. The big common denominator in the whole transition of the Saints is Sean Payton.
I think Loomis deserve more credit than that. But i was just joking with you anyway.

This all really means nothing though, until Payton gets tired of flying back and forth.

You are capable of thinking, which is why you don't see a problem.

This is something John Clayton's initial report did not adress. I think that is what made it odd, at least to me.

Gotta admit. That place is the shiznit.

Seems like a very nic e place to raise a family! Nice secure place to leave the wife while you are at work during the season.

Yup. I couldn't give a crap where he or his family lives as long as he is coaching the Saints.

No need to sell the house when he still has less than 24 months left on his contract still.

Its not that big of a deal now IMO, but what if in 2-3 years he starts bringing up how he wants to be closer to his family?

Then we will be looking for a new HC in 2-3 years.......untill that time I will enjoy the well-oiled machine the current Saints administration seems to have installed.

yup, the whole matter is a good reflection of the instant news/rumor medium we live in today. Much ado about not a whole lot.

This reminded me, in no way near the same scale, but I did a family move away from where I was working like that once. It was a 12hr flight twice every week or two. Even with that it ended up a net positive but with some definite immediate negatives to cope with.

I don't dismiss this as entirely much ado about nothing.

It just comes off as everything he preaches about the fans and city and this and that... just seems so hypocritical from here on out. Dallas is the enemy, he's sleeping in enemy lines. Drew gets it. Benson was looking for this when Payton came here, a commitment to the city. It was part of the deal to come here, now he wins a super bowl and is already jumping ship.

He gets a house in town and avoids that Causeway drive, he can afford a second house in NO comfortable enough for the family to visit. He will see as much of his family as he did when they lived across the lake.

Whatever personnel reasons generated this move is no ones business but it will be disclosed eventually..
