I get it but a lot of it was hindsight. I can't remember the thoughts on Payton when he was here and if there was any rumblings of him being the next coach. I don't think there was. Parcells was definitely up there in age by then and I would hope they were having talks of what would be the plan after Parcells. Jerry only brought in Parcells as a splash hire to get that stadium built. I don't think either of them liked working with each other.

Payton was the main guy who kept Romo on the practice squad, though. Him and Bill saw something in him but he was about to be cut until good ol Quincy Carter got arrested for weed and Romo got his spot. I do think Payton working with Romo as HC would have been way better than Wade/Garrett. 

I don’t buy that. Payton tried to trade for Romo when he was Saints HC.

Saints called Payton and offered him the job. At the time, it didn't seem Parcells would be gone after that year. He didn't want to pass up a head coaching position, even if it was the Saints. Dallas didn't seem interested in making him the head coach. Don't think there was any bad blood, just an assistant getting the call to become a head coach.

This. He and the Jones are still on very good terms.
