In Your Opinion, Why Should the Saints Steer Away from the Payton Coaching Tree?

I do not necessarily want to steer clear of it, it's just I do not want anyone as HC who has coached here since SP left. It seems that once he was gone this place became full of toxicity. Just because we have beaten bad and even really bad teams since DA was fired, it does not change anything. I am not saying we did not have some toxic moments happen during the SP era, and I am not saying he isn't a major reason why we are where we are now. I am just saying he could handle a lot of the things that were going on.

This organization is way too loyal to its employees aka buddies. We need someone to wipe the slate clean which I am not sure can happen with ML here.

We need fresh thoughts, ideas, coaching styles, etc. It just feels like this organization needs a new direction, a direction that does not seem possible with anyone in the building leading the way. Of course, maybe it isn't necessarily the coach or his views that will harm us going forward but the views and arrogance of ML.
