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.

Yea, that is bullshite.

He's more overrated by the rest of the country than New Orleans IMO. New Orleans fans love him for sure, but we get irritated with him abandoning the run

Seems like Nola fans are pretty level headed to me

When you do an onside kick in the Super Bowl and it works, that adds a lot of potential

That doesn't make any sense. What coach has demand on national sports channels?

Also, does Les Miles ring a bell?
