Hyde: Ross offered Sean Payton a 5 year $100m contract to coach Dolphins

It would've made Payton the highest paid coach in the league. It got so close Payton assistant coaches were calling Miami media and asking opinions about real estate in South Florida.

"Its pretty much a done deal" one assistant coach said. Tom Brady told Bruce Beal he would only play for a proven coach so the plan was hatched to pair Payton and Brady together. The Brian Flores lawsuit derailed the negotiations.

Didn’t happen , no one cares. Move on.

Why are we so concerned with things that never happened? All we do is feed the drama.

I'm actually glad we didn't end up with him. I've never seen a coach get praised so much for being slightly above average. Three straight years at 7-9, 1/3 of the time finishing at or under .500 with the Saints, another 9-8 year, a bunch of 11-5 seasons despite playing in a relatively meh division and having one of the top 3 QB in the league at the time.

I'll chip in another 5$ and see if she bites? Oh! and a poutine to go with the cheeseburger also!

How much does McDaniel make?

 

[LegionOfZoom]

This is all true. I believe it 100%. Ross wanted a new QB and coach. I do understand alot of people here think otherwise, and that's fine as well.

Wouldn’t Miami have to get permission from New Orleans to even talk to Payton?

Yep and then work out a trade. But don't let facts get in the way of a good clickbait story.

Backroom dealings.

Not to derail this amazing thread topic but I'm very curious about this Fox Sports contract Brady signed.... does it stipulate Brady must become a commentator next year or are we all going to suffer through more Brady to Miami BS next offseason?
