Yes, but not because our offense was faltering. Defense was the issue. So what did Payton do to fix the problem on defense, he fired and got another that worked. By 2016, 10 years into his Saints NFL head coaching career, Sean Payton was already on his 5th defensive coordinator. Not sure how many he had total in his complete tenure with the Saints, but 5 in 10 years is a lot. Not sure Allen will do the same. Only coaches he has replaced are the ones that left on their own.
