How many other "top" coaches

I'm a big Payton fan, but he has next year to get it together and that's it for me.

I think he gets one more year to fix the defense.

What a painful time to be a Louisiana sports fan.

I agree, and a lot of those issues lead back to the coach

Dallas would take him and he'd have them in the super bowl in 2 years.

i'm just starting to wonder how we don't restart without payton now. He's just stale, team isn't generally responding to him and its been a year of a lot of uninspired football. Drew can have another 3 years in him, restart now, especially if we get value for him.

Payton has until mid-season next year to be .500 and if not, drop the axe.

Yeah, cause Jerry Jones is a fricking personnel mastermind. Where do y'all get this shite?

I think Payton would do well in Dallas or somewhere else. Fresh start with different talent.

Consider- Dallas has an O-line and a premier WR, two things we lack here.

No way, you cannot win a Super Bowl unless you have at least a functional defense. Sean Payton is the most defense-intolerant coach in the league. One of the key reasons the Saints won the Super Bowl is because Payton hired Gregg Williams to oversee the defense. He turned the defense into an aggressive unit that knew how to get turnovers. Of course, the Gregg Williams era went down in flames, but at least it produced results the first year.

How many other "top" coaches

Well at least we still have a "top coach" according to you and me as well I would add.

if he stays he needs to take a stand and shake things up on the defensive coaching staff. I get that we don't necessarily have the best players on D and that some of them are young but come on.

the run defense has been bad for years no matter who we've had out there. There was a big roster turnover this year so you can't really sit back and say its just the players. I don't buy it.

just seems like the coaches aren't doing a good job of putting these guys in good spots to make plays.

the secondary players like Byrd and Vaccaro are constantly being called out. Sometimes its necessary but we've seen this before with Harper and Jenkins.

I like what we have at corner with Breaux and Keenan when healthy.

we do need help with some more new young talent on defense but I wouldn't be all that excited no matter who we picked if they come to a team that doesn't play with much passion on defense.

its just so fricking obvious that some where in there guys are just going through the motions. I didn't care for what Payton had to say in the interview before the game.

he said he felt like they had a solid week of practice. Well I guess they must have by his standards but its clear that it must have been half arse compared to what the Lions had.

by the time we got going it was far too late and they had probably let up some.
