It should always be the expectation should it not? Otherwise, why bother? Point being....coaches who have won a super bowl basically never win one again with a different team. It just doesn't happen.

I don't want Sean Peyton. I want the next Sean Peyton. Whoever that guy is. Young and hungry to be a head coach not a rich old guy resting on his laurels from winning a super bowl somewhere else (see Holmgren, Mike Cleveland Browns if you need a reference.).

Basically... but you're saying it's possible right? You can say the same thing for QBs. Would you take Aaron Rodgers on our team? Drew Brees? Nobody has won a super bowl on 2 different teams like Peyton Manning.

I agree. I don't see him leaving New Orleans. But no, I wouldn't want him. Same question as always....how many coaches have won a super bowl or NFL championship with 2 different teams? It ain't a long list.

I want the next Sean Peyton. Find that guy and make him our new coach.

The Rams got him.

No coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two teams. ONLY Weeb Ewbank has won NFL/AFL/AAFC titles with more than one team.

A few coaches have won with one team and lost with another:

Don Shula...won with Dolphins, lost with Colts

Mike Holmgren...won with Packers, lost with Seahawks

Bill Parcells...won with Giants, lost with Patriots

finger Vermeil...won with Rams, lost with Eagles

Post the link. I can't find anything on this. I call shenanigans.

Also, just FYI...coaches that have lost the most playoff games without ever having won one:

Marvin Lewis: a record 0-7 in postseason play.

Jim Mora Sr. was 0-6

Buddy Ryan and Allie Sherman 0-3

Guys that lost the most postseason games overall?

Don Shula 17 losses ....but also 19 wins

Tom Landry 16 losses...but 20 wins

Marty Schottenheimer 13 losses....but only 5 wins.

Different situation entirely. Sure I'd take Brees or Rodgers or Brady or hell..Eli Manning at this point. Franchise QB's don't switch teams after they've won a super bowl. It just doesn't happen and if it does, it's when the career is pretty much over. Peyton being the exception, but his career was pretty much toast when the Broncos signed him and he played well enough not to lose games and the defense carried the team.

Coaches leave to go other places and the teams and fans think they're bringing in a super bowl winner because he's done it before somewhere else but it doesn't work out that way. The hunger isn't there as much to do it the 2nd time.

They did. But there's probably another one out there somewhere. Just have to trust the nerds to find him.

If he's the 2017 Sean Peyton, then I'd take him in a heartbeat as well.

After years of being "pass happy", he's fundamentally changed the Saints offensive approach into one worthy of the AFCN. That kind of adaptability is uncommon.

Oh a guy from PA I worked with had season tickets to the Pittsburgh Glad-he-ate-hers (as the locals called it) in their short existance, also collected all the merchandise he could get, no real interest with the Steelers in town and they folded.

We are talking only about Sean Payton in this thead. It would be ideal if the OP added his name to the title, anyway.
