Haz can\'t coach Pathon into not fumbling that ball yesterday, and by the time you\'re in the NFL you souldn\'t have to be \"coached up\" on the basics of the game.

I completely disagree with this concept. I\'ve been a \"professional\" and world class athlete and there\'s no amount of coaching that I couldn\'t use to make me better. Only someone who\'s never been at that level could make this kind of ignorant assumption. Every athlete needs superior coaching, especially on the basics because that\'s the foundation of your talent.

If you can\'t coach the basics, which is an issue with the Saints over the last few years, then you aren\'t a superior coach, and shouldn\'t be coaching at the highest level. This is the crux of what I see as the argument against the incumbent staff, because well coached teams don\'t make the mind boggling and repetitive mistakes that this team does.
