As the NFL regular season winds down, teams are already starting to take note of which coaches are the best candidates to fill head coaching positions next year. The most interesting name available might be former Saints coach Sean Payton, who retired after last season.
If Payton does decide to return to the sideline, he apparently already has his preferred choices of teams in mind. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Payton would prefer to coach either the Chargers or Rams if one of those jobs becomes available. Additionally, Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports that Payton returning to New Orleans to coach the Saints also is possible.
Payton currently works for Fox Sports and lives in Los Angeles.
