Anyone miss Sean Payton now even the biggest detractors? (28 Viewers)

[los226]

After Brees/Payton left a friend told me the Saints won’t be good for another 10 years. I was naive and didn’t believe him. I was wrong.

It may be more than 10yrs

Nope. SP quit. If he still wanted to be here, he would.

He wanted to be here till he didn’t. There’s plenty of reasons he tried leaving several times, most of them start at the top.

He hopped off a sinking ship after putting a few holes in it.

People keep saying that, but Denver is getting cleaned up and we're still a mess. I'm not sure how true that actually ever was.

Sean Payton is the greatest head coach in New Orleans Saints history. End of. I find it embarrassing that some fans try to pretend he’s no loss.

To say you don’t miss him is a lie borne out of delusion and a very misguided sense of jealousy. Yes he quit on us, but look at the current shambles and ask yourself why.

He had it made here. He had full control. He wrecked this car and went looking for another one.

It’s a low bar. A winning record gets you in the top 3.

Nope. Sorry. Had is correct. Had is past tense.

He won a Super Bowl and is one of the greatest offensive minds this league has seen. Low bar or not, there are very few people alive that beat him.

The revisionism (not accusing you of this) when it comes to him is utterly exhausting.

3 in a row…4 of 5….6 total.

But at least they were competitive games from what I recall. I don't know what this is, practice I guess.

In reality, this franchise really started with Benson buying the team.
So you only got five options.
1. Payton
2. Mora
3. Haslett
4. Allen
5. Ditka

Still quit. He had his reasons and I respect that, but I'm not gonna whine about it like so many in here.

Between the dudes missing SP and the Jameis worship on here, annoying. Dudes can't let go.

Lost to the bills by 25, Panthers by 19, Dolphins by 17, Eagles got a 40 burger. But yeah other than that I think all of our other losses his last year were by 10 points or less if that makes it better.

I didn’t realize we weren’t counting the first 20 years of the franchise. Like I said a winning record gets you in the top three. That’s going back to 1967…13 head coaches..10 real ones and 3 interim.

 

[Saint Jack]

Well, we are at a point were we’re more than forty years from that time and a large portion of the fanbase wasn’t alive for that.

He’s the main reason DA was hired so I’d say he put the main hole in it.
