1) Sean Payton - the gap between him and everyone else is enormous . No disrespect to Jim Mora . We got to see what it’s like to have a legend , a special talent , an all time great .
Unfortunately we are also being reminded what’s it’s like not to have that .
2) Jim Mora - probably the most detail oriented coach we ever had . I think the saints lead the league or was close to the top of the league in least penalty’s when he was coach .
Made the saints respectable for the first time in franchise history . First playoff appearances but never got over the hump as far as winning playoffs games . Offense way too conservative and played not to lose.
3) Jim Haslett - underrated . Did a good job . Had a few off the field issues and at the end it got ugly but some of those issues were not his fault . Won 1st playoff game in team history
4) Dennis Allen - only reason he is not dead last on this list is due to the next guy on the list . And I never would have thought that the next guy on the list would ever have any competition for the last spot in my lifetime . But I have to tell you it’s close . The only reason DA is not dead last on this list is because he does not have near the power the last guy did with the draft and free agency .
But he’s in completely over his head . We should have known it was a bad hire the day CGJ was traded for basically nothing . I’m 100% sure that if Payton was still coach he be on the saints today .
The QB situation and lying about injuries .
A few weeks ago he tells us Winston is healthy but they playing Dalton anyway .
This week he tells us Winston is still not 100% so they staying with Dalton .
Does not know how to use the IR
How many players have missed 4 to 6 weeks and was not put on IR ?
Letting L Murray get away to Denver was inexcusable .
5) Mike Ditka- DA is very lucky he found his Mississippi .
Like I said earlier the only reason Ditka is last on this list is due to the fact he was terrible on the field and off the field . His drafts were a joke .
The R Williams trade .
The drafting of the college all stars like Danny Wuerffel , Troy Davis , etc that had no NFL projection.
Then they trade the #1 pick of the draft and trade down to #10 and draft a guard ,
When they had a HOF tackle they could have drafted with the #1st pick .
I am 100% convinced that Peyton Manning stayed in college 4 years only because the saints had the #1 pick his junior season and did not want to do an Eli Manning to the saints like Eli did to the chargers .
And this was not because of the saints it was because of Ditka .
If Mora was still there he probably would have come out as a junior and the saints would have drafted Manning #1

Long ago, there was a post on here that quoted an article ranking Shuler as the worst QB in the history of the NFL. The history of Saints QBs is not pretty.
