In the current new-hire NFL head coaching cycle, it’d be hard to argue that Sean Payton isn’t the hottest name available.

During a recent appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Payton discussed the current landscape of the league and where he might fit into it as he weighs his future on a sideline again. When the conversation illuminated the thought process of a man trying to make the right decision, Payton had some rather hot comments about the trajectory of the AFC South.
