Earlier in the offseason, there were numerous reports about the Miami Dolphins’ interest in former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton to take over the same role in South Florida. Some had even gone so far as to claim that Miami offered him a five-year contract worth $100 million.
However, according to a source close to the situation that spoke to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, there wasn’t a ton of traction for the move to be made this offseason.
“He was flattered by Miami’s interest in him to become their coach this season but also preferred to take a break from coaching in 2022,” the source said.
