Not only that it looks like they’re creating issues for Ryan’s hiring. If they prevent it they’re dead to me.
Yep, it appears his contract allows the Saints to block a deal with a college team, and that they will do so. At least, that's how I understand what the reporter was saying.
I can't understand why Payton would block this. You should ALWAYS want your subordinates to succeed to the point of advancement, either within your organization or outside of it. If Payton blocks this, he'd better raise his salary to what he would be getting as LSU DC.
IDK. Maybe feels like he got burned in the Brady situation. Let him go to LSU, and a year later, he's running the offense for a division rival.
Maybe, but he beat that division rival twice. To me, 'what if' is not a valid reason to keep an assistant from advancing.
