Payton, Saints agree to new contract

Published November 20, 2014

The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton agreed to terms Monday on a new contract.

"I am very pleased to announce this contract extension today for Sean that will run through the 2015 season," said Saints owner Tom Benson in a statement. "Our goal is to continue to build a TRADITION of winning here in New Orleans and Sean represents that tradition."

Payton joined the Saints in 2006 and guided the franchise to its first Super Bowl title after the 2009 season.

New Orleans has finished with a losing record just once under the 47-year-old Payton, going 49-31 with a pair of division crowns.
