That probably explains why Duncan hates Payton -- that is probably just one of many incidents of the weasel Duncan trying to circumvent Payton for inside info. And Duncan resents that Payton doesn't like him..
But check the other statement. I agree with Vitt -- maybe he should move on to another capacity because as a LB coach, whatever else he brings to the table, his coaching and developing LBs has not worked out in the last 6 years.
"Vitt shared several insights about Saints players and coaches that weren't related to the bounty allegations. He divulged that Payton ultimately decided to fire Williams - or more accurately, part ways after Williams' contract ran out in 2012 - because he believed Williams was texting the Saints' draft picks to Times-Picayune columnist Jeff Duncan, which he considered the last straw in a number of conflicts with the coach.
Vitt also revealed that the only major disagreement he ever had with Payton came when Payton decided to fire former defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs after the 2008 season. Vitt told Payton that if he blamed Gibbs, he should blame Vitt too and fire him as well."
