Payton Officially Saints HC

[Eskimo]

Well I guess I should wish Payton well - never caused a problem here during his stay and put up some decent production despite a lack of quality OL play during his stay here as "passing game coordinator".

It'll be interesting to see who becomes the OC next year. I wonder if we can lure one of the top OL coaches by giving him the title - no club could block the move without giving him the new title.

My hopes are for Tice or Beightol for OL coach.

I'd love to have Tice as our OL/OC- I think he really does have a bright future despite some of the mess (self-inflicted and otherwise) he has endured.

Could there be any consideration to Eric Price, UTEP's current OCoordinator?

I think he'd fit in ok and he does have experience with Bledsoe.

Here's his profile: http://www.utepathletics.com/ViewAr...635&DB_OEM_ID=2100&ATCLID=67425&Q_SEASON=2005


Go Cowboys!

Congratulations to Sean. I think he's a good football coach, and I think the Saints will be better off for it. That's not that bad of a team that they have. With a little coaching and some good luck (and they are due for that), they can be right back in the thick of things again.

As for where the Cowboys go next, Todd Haley may not be a bad guy for the job. He's fiery, and I do think that Bill respects him.

I'm more interested in seeing what other coaches may go with Sean...

Thank god he is gone..now maybe the bone headed offensive calls we had last year will stop.

R.I.P. Payton.

I doubt it. It wasn't Payton who played for a tie going into the final few minutes each week.

 

[baj1dallas]

He should of never took this job. The Saints are in turmoil and he will be fired in 2 years.

I disagree...this is a chance for him to tutor Matt Lienhart, there's no way the Saints will fire him within the next couple seasons, they're gonna rebuild. IMO he's in a pretty good situation.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

oh crap

 

[Bob Sacamano]

what Payton did for our offense has been amazing, look at the talent he's had to work with, and still we started off hot the last 2 years, too bad the talent was never there for him, hope our next O-coordinator gets some

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Good luck to him. He'll need it.

yep, no matter how bad Aaron Brooks was at QB, it's going to get worse with whoever they decide to stick in his place, a draft pick, or Todd Bouman

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm with you 100% - Haley is not qualified to be an NFL OC.

why? cuz he's never held that position before? OCs have to start someplace

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I want Henning. Make him Assistant Head Coach if you have too.

I want nothing that disrupts the continuity of our offense, it's not like we have the talent to re-learn a new system on the run again

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't know if your joking, but there is some truth to that. BP never let Carthon call the plays which is why he left to Cleveland for the same job description. The only difference in Cleveland is that Crennel lets him call the offensive plays. It's a little different for Payton though, he was promoted.

where's truth to that? can't it just be a large possibility that Payton jumped at the chance to run his own team? I mean, how many coordinators in the NFl get that opportunity? hell, Ted Cottrell has been waiting years

Payton got Vinny T and Quincy Carter to throw for over 3,000 yards, that's a heck of a job in my book

 

[StanleySpadowski]

Would anyone's opinion of Parcells change if Dallas' offense struggles next year and the Saints w/ Payton light it up offensively?

 

[Seven]

they're gonna rebuild.

Yeah...from the stadium on up.

IMO he's in a pretty good situation.

Yep. Probably let him pick out the new colors for the locker rooms.

I know your being optomistic but that franchise is in a quandry and that's being nice. The owner is even playing games.

I wish him the best........cause he's gonna need it.

I didn't have time to read all the post, so maybe this has been brought up.

Maybe he will trade for Glover and Ellis from us, since it has been rumored they may be gone.

He only ran the offense in 2005

you're right, but he was the QB coache when Vinny T and Quincy Carter of all people threw for over 3,000 yards
