Jeff Duncan: Saints problems go beyond the coach or QB [MOD EDIT]

Broad St. Saint said

As someone who went to my first Saints game at age 8, I think the Saints have regressed to their historical norm of /not/ doing what good organizations do to win.

It looks like the aberration was having Sean Payton in the building from 2006 to 2011 and 2013-21.

I'm sure he wasn't the easiest person to work with, but sometimes it takes a difficult personality to get individuals to focus on the details necessary to accomplish something big.

Per the article the 2014-2016 teams had similar issues. Attention to detail wasn’t there and Strief was the guy who approached Payton about the things that were slipping between the cracks. That coincided w/ Ireland being brought in and a refocus on drafting being put in place. The 2016 and 2017 classes were hits and that was followed up w/ a lot of wins.

Winning cures everything

So the question prevails, since this type of thing happened under Payton as well, is it a Dennis Allen issue or is it a losing issue? Everyone drafted to this team after 2020 is pretty much used to losing. They lost under Payton and they've continued losing under Allen.
