Sean Payton fired? Yes, we went there.

In this episode of First & Ten, we put our 2026 NFL season predictions on the record — including one particularly bold call that Sean Payton could be the first head coach fired.

We also predict:

  • 🏆 Super Bowl matchup & winner
  • ⭐ NFL MVP
  • 🔥 Offensive Player of the Year
  • 🛡️ Defensive Player of the Year
  • 🏈 Offensive & Defensive Rookie of the Year
  • 1️⃣ No.1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft
  • 👋 First coach fired
  • 📉 Biggest disappointment
  • 📈 Surprise team
  • 🌶️ Our hottest takes

Some of these picks might look inspired by the end of the season. Others could age horribly.

Let us know your predictions in the comments — and especially whether Sean Payton being fired is completely ridiculous or actually possible.
