I think it potentially does in once sense. For one, DA's record was only 2 games off Payton's record up to the point where injuries happened, and it looked like it was going to be a good season. That 7-game losing streak came about because of tons of injuries, mostly. I don't think it's a huge deciding factor, but if you had two offers that you liked about the same, would you go the team that fired its coach mid-season after lots of injuries, or the other one? Me? I'm going to the other one.

None of the people we are interviewing, are going to factor that in. If you are 2-7, 18-25 in this division with the gift schedules he had, rarely if ever beat a team with a winning record and were 25-53 overall, you deserved to be fired. Zero of the candidates are going to factor that in.

There you go comparing DA and Payton, and thats where I check out. Payton went to a NFCCG in year 1 and won a SB in year 4. Allen wasnt winning a SB next year.
