I don't totally disagree, but good to great coaches have teams that play better than their talent. For instance, in his last year here Payton went 9-8 with a team with no QB, no real WRs, and decimated by injury at a level close to this year. And frankly, the Broncos team he has now has no business being 4-3 and are only at that level because he's a great coach. The Saints, if healthy, have significantly more talent than those Broncos. And frankly, if DA was a better coach this team would have won one of if not both the Philly and Atlanta games.
This season would be totally different if they won one or both of those games. It's why I don't think the injury excuse works for DA. At that time we were mostly just down McCoy and we had great chances to win those game, and probably should have won those games, but didn't. And that's a pattern for DA that needs to come to an end.
