Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:22:52 -0700 The NFL may have to push back the appeal hearings for New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis after originally scheduling them for Tuesday, April 3.
Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:13:19 -0700 Former NFL head coach Bill Parcells will likely take the New Orleans Saints' coaching job for the next nine months if owner Tom Benson offers it to him, and if the terms are right. If Parcells could have one year of pressing the buttons with a Super Bowl contender, subbing in for a good friend in head coach Sean Payton, he thinks there are too many advantages to that to turn down.

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:13:30 -0700 Former NFL head coach Bill Parcells said New Orleans Saints suspended head coach Sean Payton will not be the one who hires an interim head coach for the 2012 season. Rather, it will be general manager Mickey Loomis and owner Tom Benson. "Sean is not the one doing the hiring. That's up to Mickey Loomis and (Saints owner) Tom Benson," Parcells said.

Payton and Parcells have spoken numerous times, sources said, since NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced that Payton was being suspended for the year because the league found that the team had engaged in a bounty program that included incentives to injure opposing players. It is uncertain whether Payton has discussed Parcells' candidacy as an interim head coach with Saints owner Tom Benson or general manager Mickey Loomis, who was handed an eight-game suspension. Payton was unavailable for comment and Parcells did not return phone calls Monday, March 26.
Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:41:31 -0700 New Orleans Saints suspended head coach Sean Payton is not yet scheduled to speak at the NFL owners meetings to discuss the league's unprecedented sanctions designed to punish the three-year existence of a bounty program within the team.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 06:12:52 -0700 The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton specifically expected a four-game suspension for the team's bounty program, according to a league source.

Payton, however, was suspended for the entire 2012 season.
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:06:28 -0700 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is confident that his unprecedented punishments in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, including an indefinite suspension of former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and a yearlong suspension of head coach Sean Payton, were warranted given the facts of the case. "I don't think you can be too hard on people that put at risk our players' health and safety," Goodell said. "That is a critical issue for us going forward and has been in our past." Goodell said there's no doubt in his mind that the Saints lied to the league office when the bounty investigation began. "Clearly, we were lied to," Goodell said. "We investigated this back in 2010, we were told it was not happening, it continued for another two years until we got credible evidence late in the 2011 season and we were able to identify significant information that verified from multiple sources that this was going on for a three-year period."
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:45:27 -0700 The New Orleans Saints may have either offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael or defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to step in as the head coach of the team while head coach Sean Payton serves his suspension for the team's bounty program.
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:42:16 -0700 New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was shocked to find out that he has been banished from the NFL for the entire 2012 season for his team's bounty scandal. The punishment was far more than what Payton was expecting. "I did talk to him and he's stunned to say the least," said NFL insider Jay Glazer, who spoke with Payton. "I think the entire team thought maybe there'd be a four-game suspension, but not a year. I said, 'Are you OK?' And he said, 'No, I'm not OK.' He is stunned. He's going to lose about $8 million. He is beside himself here."
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:56:10 -0700 New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has been suspended for the entire 2012 season for his involvement in the team's bounty program. Fantasy Tip: There has to be a lot of uncertainty about how the Saints will hold the fort down (and thus, produce) without the detail-oriented Payton. Contract talks with Drew Brees have been strained, and this probably won't help. If the demanding Brees returns to New Orleans, fantasy owners could have some faith in the Saints, but even then, the club has a number of other questions to answer and expectations should be tempered.

"No need for that," one Falcons player said. "It came on our watch, but it didn't have to come that way. We won't forget it." Saints head coach Sean Payton defended the decision to go for the record. "Someone is going to ask this question, so I am going to answer it before it's asked," Payton said during his postgame media session. "Typically, would I be throwing it there? The answer would be probably not. In fact, the answer would be 'I wouldn't be.' But I thought it was appropriate that we get the record. And we did it. We have a ton of respect for (Falcons coach) Mike (Smith), his staff and his players. It seemed like the right thing to do. I felt real good about the decision."

"I had an X-ray (Wednesday) and it looked good," Payton said. "I'm kind of a little bit ahead of schedule. We looked at the fracture area and the screws and the plate that are in it. I didn't realize there were seven screws in there. I'll be setting off some alarms at the airport for the rest of my life. Overall, it's doing well."
