Swamm, which you failed to highlight and you and others are hitting all around it is well, here's the thing...

On the field, there's no better play caller or field general than Sean Payton...

But what the Boston Patriots have that the Saints don't have is talented, competent assistant coaches...

How many of Belichick's former guys have had head coaching gigs or are on the tops of wish lists for coordinator jobs?!?

We started to right the ship with the hiring of Jeff Ireland...

But so long as Joe Vitt (Linebackers), Greg McMahon (Special Kids), Bill Johnson (Defensive Linemen) among others are in-tow, or Mickey Loomis fails to properly vet out players coming due for contract extensions, this team will continue to handicap themselves...
