The sweepstakes for the former Saints coach returning to the league as a head coach have begun to heat up.
As the NFL playoffs heat up, so have the sweepstakes for teams looking to land Sean Payton for his return the league as a head coach.
Payton previously spent 15 seasons leading the Saints before retiring after the ’21 season nearly a year ago. The 59-year-old went 152–89 in New Orleans, leading the Saints to the playoffs nine times that included a win in Super Bowl XLIV.

He was previously the head coach at Vanderbilt.
After three decades of coaching football, Derek Mason is ready to take a break.
The veteran coach and current defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State announced Thursday that he would be taking a sabbatical from coaching, bringing an end to his one-year tenure at the school for the time being.
“After 30 consecutive seasons in the great game of football, I have decided to take a sabbatical from coaching in college at the conclusion of my current contract at OSU,” Mason wrote.

An 11-year-old Memphis Grizzlies fan had an autographed basketball stolen on Monday, but on Wednesday night her bad fortune turned good thanks to Ja Morant.
After scoring 38 points in the Grizzlies’ home win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, Morant slid his game-worn pair of soon-to-be-released signature shoes off, signed them, and handed them to Ellie Hughes.
Hughes had been collecting autographs from Grizzlies players since she was just five years old. After hearing the news that her basketball was stolen, Morant invited the young fan and her family to Wednesday night’s game.
