Not to be superstitious, but I've just had a thought. Back in the year 2000, after the Saints finished the previous year at 3-13, they hired Jim Haslett. After defying the massive odds from NFL experts to be successful, they finish 10-6, thus winning the division crown. They would wind up winning a playoff game and earn Haslett the Coach of the Year honors. High optimism and excitement would follow the next season, which ended 7-9. Fast forward to the year 2006. After the Saints finished the previous year at 3-13, they hired Sean Payton. After defying the massive odds from NFL experts to be successful, they finish 10-6, thus winning the division crown. They would wind up winning a playoff game and earn Payton the Coach of the Year honors. High optimism and excitement would follow the next season, which ended 7-9. I don't know if this topic was discussed already because I don't have time to search all of the forum archives. But I just think that it is a weird coincidence.
