Sean Payton stepped down from his role as the Saints' coach on Tuesday, leaving the franchise after 15 years.
Payton told reporters in a 90-minute press conference that while he will not coach next season, that he would not rule out a possible return.
"I still have a vision for doing things in football and, I'll be honest with ya, that might be coaching again at some point," Payton said. “I don't think it's this year, I think maybe in the future but that's not where my heart is right now. It's not at all.
