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

Elvis said
Does Payton really have much of a coaching tree? He's an offensive coach, so I'm not going over guys like Aaron Glenn who really worked for DA. Payton had two offensive coordinators his entire time in NO. Marrone and Carmichael. Marrone was 38-60 as an NFL head coach. Pete hasn't done anything. Joe Brady hit to lottery a couple of times being able to work with Brees and Josh Allen, but I'm not sure what he'd do with Carr or Rattler. Curtis Johnson is coaching UFL. I guess Joe Lombardi counts sort of, but he a Lombardi and is Paytons current OC in Denver. Dan Campbell was an NFL coach for 5 years before working for Payton for 4 years, maybe he counts but I don't think so.

It’s all subjective right?

If Campbell doesn’t count as part of the “Payton tree,” then maybe we shouldn’t include Payton in the “Parcells tree.”

Payton was an assistant on Ray Rhodes’ staff in Philly (directly under OC Gruden) for 97-98 and then on Jim Fassell’s NYG staff from 1999 to 2002 (QB coach and then OC) before his 3 years with Parcells.

I say Payton probably learned more from Parcells and Campbell more from Payton (on how to run a whole football team), regardless of previous experience.
