re: Is Sean Payton over rated?

Payton is highly regarded around the country but the only fan base capable of thinking he's the best or one of the best is the home teams fanbase which happens to be saints fans.

This isn't a slant it's just simple truth. Why would the rest of the country think he's the best coach? More so than the home fanbase?

You're being baited into a debate that tricks you. If the rest of the country over rated him you'd never hear the end of Payton talk on national sports channels because there would be that demand for more, but there isn't.

Nationally he's a well received and very respected coach, the only potential to over rate him would come from the home fan base, that goes for Any and every coach.
