I have a friend who says he's a big LSU fan, when we lost to Kentucky he said that Miles should be fired and Flenn was a joke, later when he found out that we were going to play in the BCS Championship game he now wants to throw an LSU party at his house, I told him I have other plans.

Go Figure..

Payton has his faults. See my signature.

The biggest problem is the defense. If Payton wants to be a successful HC in this league, he has to understand that a solid defense is the foundation that you build elite teams upon. I just got off the phone with my brother, who incidentally will not be satisfied with any defense less than the 1991 Saints Dome Patrol, and pointed out 4 goals that the Saints defense needs to accomplish moving forward:

1. Stop the run (actually pretty good at that this past season)

2. Consistently shut down 3rd down (awful)

3. Do not give up the big play (really awful)

4. Generate turnovers (awful)

This is going to require all of Payton's attention and I fear that he may not be willing to give this area of the team the attention that it needs in order to be successful.

This is my issue with him as HC. He needs to coach the entire team, not just the offense.
