The Sean Payton Legacy (1 Viewer)

Sean Payton spoiled this fan base so much that it’s now turning on Sean Payton.

Hahaaaa. That is hard to do.

 

[reason2believe]

SP brought the formula here. He established the culture. If we succeed he still gets some credit for it. Where would we be without him?

Even if he does terrible in Denver. You can’t take away what he did for the franchise.

Other folks should get credit too though.

I’ll always appreciate what he did, but he has to be looking at the NFC south and NFC as a whole and saying “d@mn” 😂 Now he has to deal with Patty twice a year and coach Russell Wilson who’s wife is wearing thongs to the award shows and stressing his Christian spirit. I don’t see him getting a ring over there. Honestly don’t see them getting to the AFC ship. It’s just too stacked over there.

Hmm "Ciara thong"...read nothing after that then immediatly ran to Google expeditiously.

Thank you sir

There is something about a coach coming to a franchise and upping the standards of a franchise.
If Payton never came here, I guarantee you a 7-10 season with a close shot at the place would be considered a success.

If this team is good enough to win a championship, regardless of the current butt hurt nobody is going to think about Sean Payton at all.

Sean Payton is a phenomenal coach - the best in Saints history by far.

Do you know who our coach is now? Signing Carr is a nice addition but put whatever substance you're dealing with down.

Exactly...I don't think DA has ever been over .500 after week 2 in his entire HC career. HE is the one that has to prove he can win, because he hasn't yet.

Always a first time - everyone starts somewhere. One game at a time.

 

[RaginCajun83]

Strangely, if Carr ends up winning a championship with the Saints, I think that bolsters his HOF chances because he would be standing next to Brees, who is believed to be a first ballot HOFer.

He would probably have a shot. They have lowered the bar for the HoF the last couple years

 

[Complex Kid]

Who is Sean Payton?

I think he meant Shawn Peyton.

If Carr comes in and plays top 10 or better, the saints win a couple of NFC South titles and we even get a Super Bowl in the next 5/7 years what does that do to SP’s legacy.

What I mean is that he came here and we became a contender for a long time. He left the team in a mess which some of us thought needed to be rebuilt. This offseason Loomis does his Loomis and we are reloading with a lot of young talent and veteran mix for the future.

If we are successful is Loomis and company the real geniuses?

IF that happens then yes, I will be happy to attribute the success to Loomis. But he has to beat the legend of Brees and Payton which is no easy task. Coach/QB combos like that only come along once in a blue moon.

Will be an interesting conversation if it happens.

 

[Jesse Custer]

It does nothing to his legacy. He completely changed the perception of the franchise. That's not something that's easy to do or can really be topped. He got us to the point where not getting into the playoffs pisses us off.

Let's see.......

1) he came to an organization a year after being displaced by one the worst hurricanes in American history and help turn it around.

2) managed to guide that first team to the NFC championship game on a wet ,slippery Chicago field

3) manage to turn an okay quarterback , coming off a major injury, into one of the greatest quarterbacks and first ballot Hall of famer.

4) took a team, that barely sniffed the playoffs in 40 plus years, to the Super Bowl and won. (Against Payton Manning)

5) could have gone to another Super Bowl had the officials not interfered.
Constantly screwed over by the officials.

6) managed to field pretty good teams, despite blowback from a commissioner Hell bent on interfering with the organization whenever he feels like it.

7) Has the all-time winning record for the organization

8). Lived rent-free in the heads of the the Falcons organization and it's fans.



Yeah, I would say his legacy is cemented .

Yup, he will always be my favorite Saints HC. He was far from perfect, had plenty of flaws, but he was not scared to take chances.....he completely understood that to win big games you had to take chances and be aggressive, I will always admire him for that.....

He is the polar opposite of Jim Mora.....and DA (thus far)....
