Have we EVER had a better coaching and scouting team than the ones we have now?

Finks had some good drafts, but I don't remember a stronger Saints team, top to bottom, than what we have this year.

Whatever Payton, Loomis, and Ireland have cooking, I hope they keep it up for a long time...
While this certainly true, the overall talent Finks brought in compared to Payton/Loomis/Ireland isn’t close. Those Finks Mora teams were fringe playoff teams that never even eon a game (despite the majority of them played in the dome).
