Sean Payton has plenty of options for how he will spend next fall, but one will not be coaching the New Orleans Saints.
The longtime head coach announced Tuesday that he is stepping down from his job with the Saints after 16 years at the helm, and while he isn’t ruling out coaching again, he said his plans “are not to be coaching in 2022.”
“I don’t know what’s next and it kind of feels good,” Payton said Tuesday during a heartfelt press conference. “I don’t like the word retirement. … I still have a vision for doing things in football. and I’ll be honest with you, that might be coaching again at some point. I don’t think it’s this year. Maybe in the future, but that’s not where my heart is right now, not at all.”
Payton coached for 15 seasons in New Orleans with a Super Bowl, seven division titles and a 152-89 record. He was hired in 2006 — leading the Saints in their first season back in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city a year earlier — but missed the 2012 season after being suspended for his involvement in Bountygate.

Isn’t it rare for a coach to retire then resume coaching the following season with a different team?
I’ve heard of players doing that and coaches being fired and then being hired by another team.
Fired, yes...Retired no.
