Spags wins 3rd SB as d-coord

Remember when the poor guy was fired because the Saints had **** for talent on the 2012 defense. Maybe SP would have won another SB if he had kept him

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It wasn't Spag's fault they were horrible. That was the front office doing crappy drafting.

Lots of woulda coulda shouldas with SP playoffs opportunities., not the least of which was indeed bad personnel on defense under Spags. Better knowledge of the rule book would've handled two of those opportunities (both miracle endings), and the 2011 Greg Williams defense all of sudden didn't care about covering Vernon Davis. That 2011 team was arguably the Saints' most talented team ever.

At least the Saints did make the playoffs a few times and won one Tiffany !

Look... Leave SP alone. It's not his fault the defense with Spags was so bad.

At least that's what he told me when he used to come by the counter at Whole Foods.

The only guy Payton ever reall stacked the D was for Allen. Spags would have done a fine job if Payton was smart about a D back then. Payton cost us Superbowls. Won 1 with Brees behind C in his prime. Let that sink in.

KC has had middle-of-pack defenses ever since Spaggs arrived.

It helps to have Reid & MVP Patrick Mahomes in your back pocket.

Dennis Allen was not that good of a defensive coordinator before Sean Payton began drafting defense with high draft picks.

The further removed we are from Sean Payton, the clearer mistakes become.

I'm not saying they were all on SP, just that there are many more than I realized at the time.

Ultimately as the HC, they are. Same for the non calls which could have been avoided if he knows the rule book better .

Exactly what are these instances that you keep mentioning of not knowing the rule book?
