Sean Payton has made it clear that he could end up returning to coaching in 2023 if he can find the right situation and as of right now, it seems that he has his eyes set on three possible teams for his return.

Back in July, there was a report suggesting the Payton was eyeing the Chargers, Dolphins or Cowboys, but now, it seems that his preferences have slightly changed. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Payton would prefer to coach one of the teams in Los Angeles (Rams or Chargers).

The former Saints coach is currently living in L.A. and working for Fox Sports. “If he had his druthers, that is where he would remain, in the city of Los Angeles,” Rapoport said. “If somehow or some way the Rams job or Chargers job came open, that would be something that Sean Payton would take a look at.”

Although the Rams and Chargers jobs aren’t open right now, it’s not inconceivable that one of them becomes available. If the Chargers don’t make the playoffs, they could make the decision to move on from Brandon Staley. As for the Rams, Sean McVay had some serious thoughts about retiring earlier this year and after suffering through the first losing season of his career, it’s possible that he could once again consider an early retirement this offseason.

Of course, it’s possible that the Rams and Chargers jobs don’t come open and in that case, another team Payton might possibly be eyeing is New Orleans. According to NOLA.com, Payton may also consider returning to the Saints if he were to make a coaching comeback in 2023.
