Coach Payton

I think it is really time to give Coach P some props. The first year coach has not only led his team to a 6-2 start, but he has earned the respect and gratitude of thousands of people in the sports world.

He found a way to get Brees, worked some magic and brought in 3 new LB's that have done a pretty good job considering the circustances. He has defied draft day speculation and drafted Bush, Strief, Colston and Harper. Some of these guys were considered "reaches" but all have defined the Saints team.

Yes, I know. Bush isn't putting up the numbers he "should" (there are thousands of arguements there), and Harper is out (after a great first few games), but this team is better than good right now.

Coach P is the definately hard core and has completely turned this team around. His "no none sense" attitude and management style is bar none, the best of any coach on any team under the circumstances. He's turned the Saints from less than pretenders and made them contenders.

Just wanted to give this guy a shout, he's earned it. Thanks Coach P.
