Sean Payton: Former Saints head coach lists three teams he wants to lead in 2023

Former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is reportedly interested in taking over three different teams across the NFL. 

Sean Payton, alongside quarterback Drew Brees, helped to transform the New Orleans Saints as a franchise in the mid to late 2000s and into the 2010s.

However it appears as though that break might not last too long, as according to reports, Payton is expressing interest in coaching not one, not two, but three teams across the NFL if they were to become available at the end of the upcoming season.
