Sean Payton is showing how fast you can turn teams around

Yeah, I agree. It’s why the outburst raised some concern with me. Like you, it doesn’t mean I want a “soft” coach (that’s such a weird observation to me, anyway) but it’s understood that coaching can be a stressful job and that can take a serious toll.

Hopefully it’s not really any kind of big deal but it was alarming to see him completely lose his composure like that. Was it Mike Smith who would get redfaced and have meltdowns?
Mike Smith resembles an old boss I had - said boss, who wasn’t an outburst guy but was prone to rosacea and having more of a passive-aggressive temper, was a lot like watching moderately aggrieved Mike Smith on mute.
