Reading the latest article on WWL regarding Kromer's new interim position, there were several references to Sean Payton being a "ruthless general" on the sidelines. Contrast this with an earlier statement from Jerry Jones a couple of years ago that Payton was "sort of silly" so he never really felt that Payton could be the head coach of the cowboys. .

It's interesting to me that players feel comfortable to let their hair down now and laugh at times when it seems Payton did not allow this. I have always tried to understand what JJ thought was so silly about Payton. I get this caricature in my mind of someone who takes himself too seriously and that the giant banner hanging in the training facility is somewhat mocking of the head coach.

I was curious if anyone has any insight on Payton or different opinion.
