When a team is wildly inconsistent, that points to one thing. Coaching.

FWIW from an outsider's perspective, I believe that it's time for the Saints to cut the cord with Payton.

Recent history shows that he's an average talent evaluator and has little or no knowledge how to assemble a defense and/or assemble a defensive coching staff.

Seattle had to do it with Holmgren, NYG had to do it with Coughlin, even DAL had to do it with Landry... it's time.
