Sean Payton leaving Saints would be miracle for Cowboys

With Sean Payton potentially leaving the New Orleans Saints, could he end up making his way to the Dallas Cowboys? 

With the monster news from NFL insider Ian Rapoport that Sean Payton may not return to the New Orleans Saints next season, rumors are starting to fly on his future. Could he end up stepping away from coaching for a year? Or, could he join a new team instead?

It goes without saying, but Jerry Jones’ face probably lit up as soon as he found out Payton could be leaving the Saints. Jones has long had admiration for Payton, so if he is looking for a new job, could the Dallas Cowboys go out to try and land him?

Sean Payton joining the Cowboys would make way too much sense

After losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card Round, the Cowboys hopes of pushing for another Super Bowl died on the table. Since that final whistle, folks have been ripping Mike McCarthy and calling for him to be fired.

You already know that if Payton decides to part ways with the Saints, Cowboys fans will be begging Jones to go out and replace McCarthy with him. Having said that, we need to wait and see what Payton decides first.

He’s been with the Saints since 2006, powering the team to three NFC title games and a Super Bowl win over the Colts back in Feb. ’09. He’s a living legend in New Orleans and everyone in town loves him.

As things stand, he’s still with the Saints, but he’ll take some time this offseason to decide what’s best for him moving forward. This is something people all over Dallas are going to be following closely.
