It is that time of year again, as NFL training camps are about to start and a new year season is right around the corner. And it seems as though this has given former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton the itch to coach again.
In an interview with USA Today Sports, Payton opened up about his desire to once again be a head coach.
“Ultimately, do I think I’ll get back in? Sure,” Payton said. “There’s no way to predict who that club might be. Usually, there are about six openings every year. If there’s a right fit somewhere, that ultimately will depend on several factors.”
Since he stepped away from the Saints, Payton has been linked to several teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Chargers. He previously was with the Cowboys from 2003-2005, where he served as Assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach, before taking the Saints job in 2006. So there is history with the Dallas organization and owner Jerry Jones.
One thing is for sure, Cowboys fans would love to welcome back the offensive genius. And they let this be known on Twitter.
