Sean Paytons return will light a fire under any under performing players a$$, knowing that the big man will take no nonsense!
That is what a lot of our team needs at the minute, someone that they can't afford to disappoint like Sean payton

Protection for his $100,000,000 quarterback.

Oh, and a defense.

Surely to god something better than 1-4.

Everyone agrees that its almost an impossibility that Saints are 1-4 if SP is coaching. I think thats the most important thing for fans to remember.
This is SP's team. He built it , changes it, and runs it.
And this is what it will be like when he leaves. The importance, strategy, and mind set of Payton working with Loomis has been completely underplayed.

You don't remove Lombardi from the Packers, and you cant remove SP from the Saints. Players and interim coaches can not do what he brings to the table.
This has taught me a very valuable lesson. We must retain Sean Payton after his 2015 contract ends. There are very very few great minds in football, and he is one.
Dallas and many other teams will be gunning for him, so we better pay him what he wants, or our chances of better, are slim to none, and years of coach transition.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.

I doubt he'll change his overall mentality when it comes to playcalling and game planning, but he'll undoubtedly have a "new bag of tricks" next season, resulting from all of the free time that's been forced upon him.

I think, or should I say I hope, this sabbatical will in the end prove to be beneficial to his career as a football coach, and maybe it'll allow him to take a step to the next level - and I for one can't even imagine what a higher level of him would/could be in reality... scary for the opponents for sure.

Payton = WINS

I see a running game playing a different part. I actually see him changing a crap load.

As a coach he only gets one Sunday a season to watch and see what EVERYONE else is doing... He can now watch ALL of that.

I also see a bunch of personnel changes coming.

I think next year will be a time where we'll see older players getting phased out. Smith and Ellis on DL, maybe Henderson at WR (thou I love the guy). I think the job of finding Brees real replacement will start. I'm also anticipating an offensive shift to the running game, less comitte and more of one guy.

Easy, 7 to 14 more points per game. Take a look back at the losses none of them were blow outs. He gives you an extra offensive possesion, and possibly one less defensive possesion by tell the d coordinator what he sees and who he wants nullified.

It will be epic, it will be Homeric...

It will be like when Odysseus dealt with the suitors that were trying to bag his ole lady and spend his wealth...
