Payton said he’d have been foolish not to look closely at how they operated. Fast forward nearly 16 years, and Payton has done what he set out to achieve since he first dissected New England’s model, building a sustained winner out of a franchise that had accomplished little before his arrival. Sunday will mark Payton’s 244th game as the Saints coach, including the playoffs. Belichick will be standing on the opposite sideline for his 380th game as the Patriots head coach.

Other than being a coach that has strong control over every aspect of the team, the saints under Payton operated nothing like the patriots.
