Ever since former Saints coach Sean Payton stepped away from the league in January, rumors began about where the coach could end up in the future.
One team continuing to pop up in conversations is the Cowboys. Payton worked on the Cowboys coaching staff from 2003 to ’05, when he was an assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about the potential for his friend to join the staff and replace Mike McCarthy. He quickly shut down any rumors of Payton coming out back to coach the Cowboys.
