Will he or won't he coach the Saints in 2012? If he can fit his ego inside the Superdome he will go for it.

there's nobody on the present staff that could fill-in as ''interem-coach'' for this season ?,.......why would tuna want to prolong his H.O.F. waiting period for a one-yr. stint ?,....if this was a few years ago tuna would've never left and stole the job [memba=the pats 1996/97],.......i believe bill belichick hired dom capers as a ''rb-coach'' [wink] before the start of 2007 [spy-gate] just incase he was suspended for the season or games.

True, but he does have the experience, and he has a little bit more to work with there in NO.

I am very curious how strict the " no coaching" is enforced ??? Can they stick an in house guy on the side line , SP watches the game somewhere close by and feeds ideas/decisions via phone ? Can SP review all tape after each game (off-site) and send game plans to whomever ?

Too much personal risk and not enough personal reward.

Yeah, I'd be interested in those answers too.

My guess is that Sean Payton will make all game planning decisions via taped practices and will transmit messages to the sock puppet replacement coach.
