USA Today Ranks Dennis Allen Worst Head Coach in the League

Not much I’d disagree with. I’d put Payton high, too.

Bowles and Allen have similar track records but Bowles has two winning seasons and he’s coming off a division title. I’d have to put him above Allen.
Payton has a LOT to prove without a 1st-ballot HOF QB on his roster, and there's evidence to suggest - even within his latter years coaching the Saints - that the game might have passed him by a bit. "Stale" is the word that comes to mind. 100% appreciate what he did for the Saints as a younger coach, but I'm not even sure I'd want him back at this point, as I think his stock is trending down.
