In Your Opinion, Why Should the Saints Steer Away from the Payton Coaching Tree?
Based on results, Payton’s coaching tree doesn’t appear to win without Payton and a star QB when they’re running Payton’s system for the most part. They’re great coordinators when on another HC’s staff and coming to a made situation but not great HCs or leading coaches when they themselves have to pick a staff and QB. Or when they’re relied on to develop a talented QB without Payton.
I think more of the coaching tree can be successful like Campbell if they branch out to younger coordinators with successful backgrounds and fresh ideas. Instead of just carrying over the same exact position coaches from Payton’s staffs.
