The NFL's coaching carousel is spinning, and a former New Orleans Saints head coach is about to be one of the most pursued candidates. Let's use the NFL odds at DraftKings Sportsbook to assess Sean Payton's most likely next team.
Nearly every offseason there's a rock star head coaching candidate that desperate teams will throw a mountainous sum of money at almost immediately.
Jim Harbaugh has played that role in recent offseasons before staying at Michigan. Harbaugh is being pursued again, and Sportsbook Review's Michael McClymont offered his take on Harbaugh's NFL team, but this time he's not alone among the marquee names.
Sean Payton is being aggressively courted, with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texans all getting permission to speak with him, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The former Super Bowl champion and 2006 Coach of the Year has been on the sideline since stepping away from the New Orleans Saints after the 2021 season. In addition to winning Super Bowl XLIV while leading the Saints, Payton also guided the team to nine postseason appearances and a 152-89 record over 16 campaigns.
