Former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton reached the pinnacle of his illustrious career in 2022 after inspiring a poorly reviewed Netflix movie starring Paul Blart’s Kevin James. Payton decided to go out on top after going 9-8 and missing the playoffs, retiring after an illustrious career where he took one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history to one Super Bowl (that season resulted in multiple suspensions, penalties and fines due to a long-standing bounty program where opposing players were intentionally injured for a competitive advantage).
Payton joined Fox Sports as an announcer and the results were about as good as the $40 million deal signed by Taysom Hill.
