![]() Maybe this helps. One could easily argue that Brees and Mahomes are similar talents and either would be successful anywhere they go. Sean on the other hand has yet to show that he can do anything notable without Drew. Does Sean get credit for getting Drew into a Saints uniform? Undoubtedly. Is Sean responsible for Drews success, I cant give him that one and if we believe that Drew would be successful anywhere he went then that would include a New Orleans Saints without Sean Payton. All of my roads are still leading back to Drew Brees. |

A great coach is a great strategist, great judge of talent, knows how to utalize the talent on his roster, and has succession plans in place for attrition. A great coach is the backbone of the organization.![]()
When I consider what went on under his nose, he is kind of a leadership sh1tshow.. Bounty Gate, Vicodin , the pitiful array of position coaches we have, essentially having a roster full of QBs but no QB, and quite a few other examples; I can not give Sean that title. Successful yes, great... not so much. In his year of suspension he told the team "Do your job" but he didn't really walk that walk while the Saints HC. Like him or not, Belichick is a good example of a great coach regardless of record, McVay is very good as well, |

I still think he’s a great coach despite that. I actually agree that Belichick is a great coach as well despite the record. It shows that even the best in todays NFL struggle without great qb play. Although I will say that a top notch defense can go a good ways as well

Re: Why doesn’t Payton want to come back to the Saints?
Most likely not, but this does have some logic behind it.
