It won't be long before Sean Payton and the 2013 New Orleans Saints go marchin' into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in what some might look upon as the second coming of a head coach who, you might recall, was asked to sit out the 2012 season.

In 2006, Payton made his debut as a 42-year-old rookie head coach with 13 new starters, with a roster dotted with 30 new faces, with a starting quarterback, Drew Brees, who had not thrown a touchdown pass in four preseason games.

Out in Las Vegas, the prediction was the Saints, coming off a 3-13 year, would be lucky to win six games.
