Sean Payton, 58, is officially on hiatus from NFL coaching and enjoying every bit of it as he unplugs and relaxes for what he hopes is another chance.

HARRISON, Idaho – After smacking his best tee shot of the day – a straight line drive that soared at least 200 yards – Sean Payton danced. Or something like that. And he talked trash.

Pat Burrell, the former major league outfielder standing nearby, was hardly amused.

β€œYou’re dancing on tee shots now and not a birdie?” Burrell chided, incredulously.

The birdies were surely few and far between for Payton, but he was eager to celebrate, nonetheless.

β€œI’m the only coach in the NFL who can do The Griddy,” Payton declared as he demonstrated his version of the popular dance. β€œAnd it’s documented!”
