Sean Payton confirmed he will remain head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

"I'll be here as long as they'll have me."

"I know it appeared there was a looming decision. But I think this is really me saying again, 'Here I am, and nothing's changing,'" Payton said at his news conference.

Payton has two seasons remaining on his contract and he's yet to agree to an extension.

There were several teams interested in trading for Payton.
