Yeah he's gonna want his own guy upstairs and not have to answer to anyone but the owner, especially if that owner wants to hire a "name" HC...
It's going to be interesting to see how far this "rich guy" owner goes on the rebuild. Giving $40M to the fired coach, giving the rest of the staff including the GM whatever buy-outs they may have, sending cash and/or draft picks to NO to get the rights to Payton, giving Payton the same kind of deal he gave the guy he just fired, if not more (i.e. better than 7 years / $62M), paying whomever Payton wants as GM and staff. Oy vey, it is going to be one costly transition if that's how it goes down!
