Sean Payton's Loyalty to His Friends is Hurting the Saints

Successful teams keep good coaches or at least replace them with the same standard

Dennis Allen - solid coach let go, Wesley Mcgriff signed and we've sucked ever since

Curtis Johnson - one of the most underrated coaches we had, our receivers were dominant with him in charge, he leaves and now our receivers lead the league in dropped passes.

Here are some other ways we are different than the Pats.

1. Our coach doesn't wear a hoody.
2. We don't spy on other teams.
3. We don't deflate footballs.
4. We don't have an ex-player on trial for murder, which is why he is an ex-player.
5. We haven't lost any super bowls.

And the list goes on.....

I'd take all that plus 4 superbowls in 14 years. 6 AFC championship wins, 9 appearances. Something along the lines of 14/15 playoffs appearances in the last 15 years.

Loyalty can only go so far as a head coach before it does start to hurt or even kill a team. Another season of 7-9 and we might see how loyal Benson is.

Losing Vilma is why we played bad last year. He was our leader. Even Brees acknowledged this.
