It was just a rumor, it has become a reality: Sean Payton will not be the coach of the Saints in 2022. Appointed in 2021 after having made his range in NFC East (Eagles, Giants and Cowboys), he will have therefore played 15 seasons with the franchise.
His record is absolutely remarkable: 152 wins for 89 losses, 9 playoff qualifications (9 wins, 8 losses) and a title, the only one in history for the Saints, in 2009. Against the Colts of Peyton Manning, Payton and his quarterback of (almost) always Drew Brees wrote the most beautiful story possible in a city still devastated.
Coach of the year, he left leaving an indelible mark on the history of a city, embodying the golden years of a franchise unaccustomed to happiness.
