Is Sean Payton a Hall of Famer? (1 Viewer)

Adam Schein thinks so. Was reading this article and he said:

6) The New Orleans Saints didn't fall into the trap


Coming off of a statement win over the Rams, and with games coming up against the defending champion Eagles and rival Falcons, New Orleans faced a potential trap game Sunday in Cincinnati. But the Saints didn't just beat the Bengals; they stole their soul. 51-14! And it wasn't even that close.

Sean Payton is a Hall of Fame coach. The Saints are so great and so tough. That's Payton. And how about Drew Brees, posting another near-perfect game: 22 of 25 for 265 yards and three touchdowns, with a rushing score for good measure? This offense is unstoppable.

It made me wonder: Is Sean Payton a HOF coach? I think, if we win another Super Bowl, it is undoubtedly. But if we do not, there may be some voters and NFL fans who think he is not.

Yes. Especially after February

 

[Saint Jack]

If he wins another Super Bowl, he's a lock.

 

[longtime lurker]

Yes, he is also this year’s HC of the year.

If he cares to, whenever he retires, he will become the Jimmy Johnson of NFL media. John Madden wasn't that respected as a hall of famer until he went in the broadcast booth.

Payton has the smarts and the edginess to be a favorite in the analyst booth. Much more so than dimwitted Terry Bradshaw or corny Jon Gruden.

Only coaches to win 60% of their games and be a head coach for at least 10 years not in the HOF?

Bill Belichick
Sean Payton
Mike Tomlin
Mike McCarthy
Andy Reid
George Seifert
Marty Schottenhiemer

Andy Reid and Marty are the only ones without a SB win. All have a great argument for the HOF.

 

[Saint Kamara]

Yes, he is also this year’s HC of the year.

That's Andy Reid as it stands now.

A few years ago this board was talking about firing him and now we're discussing about loading up the van and heading to Canton to enshrine him into the HOF

Almost as if putting a Super Bowl caliber team together changes people's mindset...

It was the switch from having the training camp in Greenbrier back to New Orleans that got him back on track

When was that? I doubt there was ever two SR threads about firing Payton that were ever seriously discussed.

I do remember Swimmer wanting Rob Ryan to lose his gut, but that's just a Pete disciple's observation.

When the Saints started 0-2 last year, there was talk about whether Payton and the Saints should mutually part ways after the season.

Greatest offensive mind of our generation.
