Sources: Sean Payton eyes Vic Fangio as DC upon coaching return

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
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.Any team that does decide to meet Payton and the Saints' price now could be getting a coaching tandem that would bring instant credibility and respectability.
Fangio is regarded as one of the game's top defensive minds and is expected to be in demand from more than just Payton. But in an ideal world, Payton and Fangio would like to join forces in 2023 and provide a team with the offensive and defensive mindsets it would need to form a top coaching duo.

I'm just saying you have been one of our more vocal should have hired Fangio posters. E.D. has been a disappointment no doubt.

No, I just was saying Donatell was a bad hire who hasld been terrible everywhere and was unfairly credited with Fangios defense last season in Denver. I've never advocated for the hiring of Fangio.

Let the Chargers fire Staley & hire Payton. We can gift wrap Donatell with a bow to Payton/Fangio and then hire KOC's homey Staley to run the Defense.

BAM!
