With the NFL regular season winding down some teams are already preparing for the offseason. Especially the organizations who are going to be searching for a new head coach.

Sean Payton is the hottest name in the market right now as fans are buzzing about him coaching their favorite teams. Now, Pat McAfee adds fuel to the fire.

In some recent social media activity, Sean Payton “liked” a tweet from an Indianapolis Colts fan asking him to coach the team. From there, McAfee took that “like’ and ran with it. And for good reason. This could indicate Payton’s desired coaching destination. Or, it could be his way of leveraging interest from other clubs.

As of right now, the Colts and the Denver Broncos both have head coaching roles to fill. It’s unclear exactly where Sean Payton wants to coach. However, he has stated previously he wants to be somewhere with a stable ownership group. Either way, football fans are eating up these rumors.

People seem to be forgetting that any team that wants to hire Sean Payton has to trade for him. Even so, that sounds like a worthy investment.

The LA Chargers seem to be a popular choice.

The Arizona Cardinals are gaining momentum in the fan discussions as well.

With the NFL season wrapping up, we should know where Sean Payton will coach next sometime in January. That is if he truly decides to come out of retirement.
