Stephen A. Smith claims Sean Payton will be the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers after playoff failure against Jaguars.
The Los Angeles Chargers were eliminated from the playoffs as a result of their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wildcard Game. The Chargers had a 27-0 lead over the Jaguars at one point in the game. Despite having a terrible start to the game, Trevor Lawrence was able to rally his team to a 31-30 victory over the Chargers. He did this by leading from the front.
People are criticising the Chargers’ head coach, BRandon Staley, as a result of the team’s disappointing performance. Many people believe that Staley’s time as the head coach of the Chargers has come to an end, and that Sean Payton ought to be hired for the following season. Stephen A. Smith shares the same beliefs as they do.
After the game, Stephen A. Smith said, “Congratulations @SeanPayton. Welcome to Los Angeles as the new coach is the @chargers. There is no way Brandon Staley can keep his job after blowing this lead. There’s no coming back from this for him!”
Shannon Sharpe, the NFL Hall of Famer also believes that Staley’s tenure as Chargers HC is over. He said, “I don’t see a way that Staley keeps his job after this DEBACLE. Up 27-0 and lose with that talent. Sean Payton or someone else will be coaching that tm next season.”
Sean Payton is also pursued by other teams as well but he would love the opportunity to coach a player like Justin Herbert. Moreover, the Chargers with a good head coach can make some noise next season.
For the position of head coach that is currently available, Sean Payton is the individual who has received the most interest from teams. As a result of the fact that he is still legally obligated to work for the Saints per the terms of his previous contract, the club will be eligible to receive draught compensation from the organisation that winds up employing Payton.
Payton has received requests from the Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos, and the Houston Texans, in that order, to take part in interviews with their teams. Loomis has made it abundantly clear that he anticipates receiving appropriate value, whether in the form of draught picks or some other form, in the event that he permits the greatest coach in the history of the franchise to take over another team. Loomis has made it abundantly clear that he anticipates receiving such value, despite the fact that he does not intend to prevent Payton from moving to another organisation and does not currently have any plans to do so.
Speaking about it, Saints GM Mikey Loomis said, “We haven’t settled on exactly what the compensation is going to be yet, They’re well aware that there is going to be compensation.”
The heights that Payton led the organisation to achieve, such as its first-ever victory in the Super Bowl in 2009, a record of 152-89, seven NFC South titles, and nine postseason trips in 15 seasons, translate favourably for the compensation that New Orleans can hope to receive for him after he leaves. Payton led the organisation to its first-ever victory in the Super Bowl in 2009.
No matter what the final cost ends up being, one thing is certain: When Allen comes back to coach the Saints in 2023, the man who was instrumental in New Orleans’ most sustained period of success will almost certainly be partly responsible for the building blocks that are available in the Saints’ attempt to usher in their next great era. No matter what the final cost ends up being, one thing is certain: No matter what the final cost ends up being, one thing is certain: No matter what the final cost ends up being, one thing
For their part, the Chargers need to move quickly if they want to bring Sean Payton aboard; otherwise, another team will pounce on the opportunity and hire the former head coach of the Saints.
