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.

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.

The Rams got him.

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.

OK, but I thought he had gone on to refer to someone else.

Born in Cali, graduated in the great midwest.

Winning a football scholarship, Payton had a successful career playing quarterback at Eastern Illinois University, leading the Panthers to an 11–2 record and the quarter-finals of the Division I-AA Playoffs in 1986........

It's kind of funny.. didn't he spend a part of his childhood down south for a few years?.. I remember seeing a special about him... I couldve sworn he was all southern at one time..

I don't remember that but I remember graduating with my MBA in 1985 from YSU in 1986 Tressel came to YSU and had them in the playoffs in 1987 one year after Sean had his great year in 1986 in the 1-AA playoffs.

All the same.. I wouldn't mind having him as HC with certain.. I hate to use the word restrictions... As guess cautionary leeway if that makes any sense and provided things went well.. you give him everything he want's.. by the same token.. You can't really hand cuff him too much... If his system is gonna be successful... Time will tell I suppose.. We haven't crossed that bridge yet...

The facts and stats that only one coach has done it support my opinion that its not the best way to go when looking for a new head coach.

Again in your opinion. Browns need to get wins before thinking super bowl. And then playoffs before super bowl we can't just rule this out because it's highly unlikely.

Facts are not opinion. Its happened only one time in NFL history. That is a fact.
