With win tomorrow, Dennis Allen will have identical record as Payton through 37 games as Saints head coach

Maybe no one wanted the job and Pete was a default that they both had to eat. Year 1 I think is directly on ML.

I highly doubt that. It's just not Mickey's style. He's a pretty hands off GM and he even let Payton keep Gibbs and Vitt longer they he should have.

As far as after year 1, just like last year there were other options after Cohen turned down the job but they chose to go back to Pete.
