As I feared, it's starting to sound more and more like Sean Payton will return to TV. Reports of an "issue" between him and Broncos ownership stemming from his interview seems to have surfaced.
Reportedly Payton is concerned about a possible power struggle between himself and ownership, which goes back to what I was saying earlier about him being a bit of a control freak. Stories emerging from New Orleans post departure about the sheer amount of power he had within the Saints organization were fairly eye-opening, and it's also why I don't think he'd work well in Dallas with his good friend Jerry Jones, who has a similar sized ego and need for control.
That said, perhaps new Denver ownership are being rather heavy-handed themselves, but either way it seems like this isn't going to happen. Carolina is also out of the mix now for Payton.
