He's got a rookie QB to 5-3 so far. He got us to 9-8 his last season here starting 4 different QBs. He is a leader of men. He holds people accountable. He does ALL of the things you want from a head coach. DA does none of them.

He also recommended DA for head coach.

If you believe that I've got a couple more things to sell you.

He said what he should have said on the way out as not to burn bridges. Mickey was pimping Allen as the successor for Sean long before Sean started flirting with Brady and the Dolphins.

I doubt that was his actual motive, but it makes me chuckle.

He knows that DA is the opposite of Payton. And Payton believes he is the best, or one of the best coaches in the league. Of course, in his opinion, he didn’t believe that DA was gonna be a great head coach.

Yeah, our Super Bowl winning ex-coach is crushing it over in Denver. Go figure? I don't know the circumstances of why he left but that dude was the sole reason this franchise didn't suck for 15'ish years.

He learned from Bill.
Parcells left the Giants.
And the Patriots.
And the Jets.

Yeah, but he didnt coach any of those teams for 16 seasons, either and essentially decide to quit by way of claiming "burn-out", then seemingly magically he regained his old tenacity, persistence, egotism. LOL! I appreciate what Payton did for this franchise, team, organization and city for 16 seasons, but I seriously doubt he even knows the meaning of the word " burnout". Burn-out former NFL HC's include guys like Dick Vermeil in Philly and John Madden at the end of the 1978 season in Oakland when his doctor told him one way he might be able to rid himself of persistent stomach pain was maybe retire. Dick Vermeil was sleeping in his office for months and over-working himself mentally and physically, next to a film projector in his last season as Eagles HC. His epiphany was when he showed up late in the 1982 strike-shortened season in his parking spot and literally could not get himself out of the car he was so stessed out. He didnt coach again for another 14 years.

That's true, legitimate burnout. What Sean Payton had was "I don't want to be a HC anymore". The longest period of time Parcells ever spent with one team was the one he had the most success with and won two SB's, the New York Giants. He left the Patriots partly due to power-sharing disagreements and kinda mutual dislike of Robert Kraft. Those two never quite got along even from the very beginning.

He didn't learn very well apparently, the longest Parcells was with a team was 8 years (Giants).....CSP was here 16 years.....

Also, this has to be one of the all time didn't age well posts.....

Enh, there was a lot of complaining among fans, over the years, about how pass heavy Payton's scheme is. Ellias is hardly alone in calling that out. I think that was entirely the context of this thread, originally, but can't speak for him.

I generally liked Payton's approach here because I thought it made the games exciting and with a QB like Brees, throwing the ball did become a successful offset to the running game. It worked a lot more often than it didn't, but there were certainly some frustrating moments when running the ball would have seemed to make more sense. Hindsight.

We'll always have that 298 yard run-game masterpiece at Buffalo in 2017.
