In reality Sean has tried to rely more on the run the last 2 seasons because after going 7-9 three seasons in a row and Brees breaking NFL QB records it kinda showed that Sean was not as smart offensively as people thought. In reality he should have fired. If he did the same thing in Dallas he would have been gone.I'm with you on arguing that Payton isn't great but he is a upgrade over JG.
Since JG been a HC Payton is 76-52 and JG 72-56. Payton been to the play-offs 4 of the 8 years with a 4-4 record and JG has been 3 of the 8 with a 2-3 record. Again, a slight edge.
The past 3 years JG has done it with a far less QB but Payton offensive scheme has as much to do with Breese being great as anything. He was a good QB with SD but went to another level in Paytons scheme. That's why I give Payton an edge over JG. He's more creative in his offense and will run a offense that is built for Dak skill set. Where jg tries to run a old age offense with a qb with new age skills.
But to your primary point....Sean is not a huge upgrade over JG....IF at all and Im of the the opinion it would be an actual down grade.
