Biggest duh ever. Throwing the players under the bus. Then, apologizing for beating the Falcons. Definitive loser mentality. The way Payton would have owned that moment and said the Falcons can go get bent. The way ANY coach would have stood behind their players knowing the situation Williams faced after leading the league in TDs the year before. THE WAY ANY PERSON familiar with football knows the history of this rivalry, where the Falcons won't even put the Saints name on their scoreboard, would have understood the assignment.
The guy is just a loser. He could have the Chiefs or the Commanders, he would have a losing record. He could start fresh from 0-0 today with any franchise(s) and he'd have a losing record in 5 years. He's not a head coach in the NFL. He doesn't get it. I never rooted for him to be fired because I truly hoped as a Saints fan since he was who we had. But now that he's gone. We can be honest about it. And the people that still to this day defended that BS? Know that's the day he truly loss the team and it should have been obvious to you.
