Ryan: Payton best 'I've ever coached for'
 

(Mike Triplett)

As you might expect, New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan delivered a presentation that was both informative and entertaining as a guest speaker at the LSU coaches clinic on Thursday.

Among Ryan’s most noteworthy comments, according to recaps from The Times-Picayune and The Advocate: "Sean Payton is the best coach I've ever coached for, and I've coached for Bill Belichik."

Ryan also injected plenty of his deadpan humor, as well as sharing some of the philosophies he swears by ("Keep it learnable and likeable" and "We're going to have fun at somebody else's expense.")

Payton might retire when his contract is up in a few seasons.

Ryan might be a pretty good candidate for the job.

Ya think? He strikes me as a person that wants to outdo Belichick. Payton has a decade left in him at least.

Re: Ryan: Payton best 'I've ever coached for'
 

I thought I remembered him saying a couple years ago (when he signed his contract) that he only wanted to coach about 5 more years then call it quits.

Trust me, I hope I'm mis-remembering.

He may have said that in jest. I know there was speculation that he would retire when Drew does but since his wife took 1/2, he needs to coach twice as long :)

Plus being out for a year must've made him realize how much he would miss coaching if he retired early, not to mention that years lost pay needs to be made up for?
