Sean Payton is so interested in returning to coaching in the NFL that he's already putting together an all-star staff that includes former Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio as his potential defensive coordinator, league sources told ESPN.
Payton has been working as an analyst at Fox, but he also is watching from afar as the NFL's coaching carousel is expected to continue to spin later this month with what experts expect to be somewhere between five and seven head coach openings, sources said.
The Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts have already fired their head coaches during the 2022 season.
Payton is regarded as the top available head-coaching candidate, and he will not come cheaply. Any team that wants to hire the former New Orleans Saints head coach will have to make Payton one of the game's highest-paid coaches, and also compensate New Orleans with a draft pick or multiple picks, according to sources.
