Clearly a major shakeup is coming in the offseason.

I'm going to say something controversial, not just for its own sake but because I really do believe it: It's time to let Sean Payton move on.

It's no secret his play calling and offensive philosophy have gone stale. Let's be honest, if not for the way the defense played last year we'd probably have been a 7-9 or 6-10 type team. IMO he is too stubborn to change his ideals and he will never truly turn over the reins to an offensive coordinator.

I love Sean Payton for what he has done, I really do - but what we're seeing is the continuation of a downward trend. I do not believe he is the same coach he was before the Bountygate suspension. He has lost a lot of what made him so good.

Jim Harbaugh, in my opinion, would be an extremely good hire to replace Sean. Yeah, he's a jerk, but he's the kind of jerk who can get things done. He turns around programs instantly, as we saw with Stanford and the 49ers. He knows how to motivate younger players and would turn us into a hard-nosed team again.
