THIS!
No matter what success we had, Payton completely screwed this team the last few years. He was more responsible for personnel selection & his record(w/a few exceptions) was well below avg.
So far in this thread I've learned that that only coach to lead the Saints to contender type status and a SB win is responsible a full 3 years later for the current state of the Saints, which is really more unbelievable when you think that his last year we went 9-8, narrowly missing the playoffs with an NFL record number of starters (including starting 4 different QB's) missing games....
As a bonus I've also learned that we should tank for a college QB who recently got benched mainly (i believe) because his last name is Manning....
