Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

The way I'm hearing these idiots on TV talk, I want him to say he's staying. And if he does, I really want to call out every single ass clown who had "sources" saying he was going to leave

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

background audio is streaming on nos site before the presser

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

He's staying. Just heard from my source. Why am I not really impressed at this point? Seems like we were a fall back option.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

NFL Network reporting that Payton plans to stay.

So it seems that the presser is no big deal.

Now let's go remake that defense.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Great, I do not have to eat crow now. I was almost certain he was staying, at least for another year.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

The same ******* who said his "sources" told him Payton was all but gone is now on TV flapping his gums about how Sean is going to stay. My god, only weather men get to rattle off such dribble as a sports "insider" with no repercussions

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

That is his job. Like all sport analysts the job isn't to be right or wrong. The job is to speculate and generate interest.

He and Glazer and LaCanfora can be wrong 99% of the time as long as they draw eyes to their screens.

Meltdown in Santa Clara?

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Oh man I know a guy who had already convinced himself that Sean was headed to the Whiners and Drew was coming with him because, as he said, "it just makes sense", and went on the talk about good draft spot, room under the cap, blah blah blah.

Can't wait to see that guy again...

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Who are we taking notes from then?

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

So were we Payton's fall back option?

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Keep Glazer away from those two idiots. He's shown time and time again that if it comes from Glazer then there is a 75% or better chance that its true. The other two couldn't tell you it was raining even if they were outside and soaking wet

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Dennis Allen may be back as DC. Something tells me nothing will change. (same coaches on defense + Dennis Allen as DC) . I don't like that.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Yet but he did state there may be some changes around him. I believe some positional coaches will be eventually let go.

To Be Continued...

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Dennis Allen did a good job rallying the defense when he took over. The problems were still there yet he found ways to be more effective which was all on coaching.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Dennis Allen did well to limit the Falcons to 0 points in the entire second half.

Get Cam Jordan some help at D line, some help at linebacker and probably a better safety than Jairus Byrd and we'll be okay.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Here we go! "Why did he stay?" "The Saints were a fall back!" "It's what he did't say!" Payton's agent needs to be the UFO guy with the wild hair!!

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

How in the world were we a "fall back"? I am sure he got offered plenty of money elsewhere (probably more than the Saints offered him). As has been said before, if any thing Payton just increased his market value by sounding the market out and used that to negotiate some more money.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Are you aware that Payton is already the highest paid coach in the NFL at $8 million per year? The next closest makes $500,000 less.

Nothing but mindless media hype. Story invention.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

I don't like the Allen staying report. I don't know if he fits. He doesn't have a past pedigree to prove it will work.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Did we know SP had a head coaching pedigree when we hired him?

Can't deny the improvement in a short time with him running our D with the same personnel as RR. I don't mind giving him a chance. It's not like there are a plethora of DC with high pedigree, as you put it, out there lining up to coach our D.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Holding the Falcons to Zero Second half points was definitely a good start, he needs to build a menacing D line though. It all starts upfront and our weakness there shows up against even average O lines.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Agree, which is why i keep saying, kick Bill Johnson to the damn curb and don't look back.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

How do any of you know which assistant is the problem?

They do the bidding of the DC.

We have no clue who's responsible for what. We just assume.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Payton is under contract. Any team other than the Saints talking to him or his representation would be guilty of tampering.

If Payton really wanted out, I don't think the Saints would have held him. However, as Payton himself pointed out in the press conference, it's unlikely that any team would be willing to put up a Gruden type package (2 1st round picks + $8 million) to get the guy.

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

We have been through 5 DCs with the same position coaches.... The real question is why are they still around?

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

No we haven't

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Gibbs
Williams
Spags
Ryan
Allen

Pretty sure that makes 5...

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

But not all assistants have been here the entire time. Bill Johnson for instance, has only been here since 2009.

All I know is I've been here longer than any of 'em.

Maybe I'm the problem?

Re: Payton Press Conference at 2 PM CST (UPDATED)
 

Yes there are issues with the team that need to be worked on going forward, but no matter how you slice it, today's press conference was an epic trolling by Sean Payton, of the haters and doubters and the people who were ready to jump off the bandwagon or throw him under the bus. Look at it this way. I think he basically turned off the light, let the roaches scurry around for a while, then turned it back on and watched them FREEZE in their tracks. Not like he had tons of friends everywhere in the media and sports world already, but now he knows EXACTLY where everyone stands. Including parts of the fan base, if you think about it that way.

Today was EPIC. He talked for an hour, not a single "next question" or blown off answer. He answered EVERY DAMN QUESTION THEY ASKED HIM, even Mike Triplett, and kept going and going. It was freaking beautiful. Like it or not, at least for right now, this moment, he has every single doubter and hater on the ropes, and every single Saints fan with any kind of heart feeling a whole lot better tonight. Like Ice Cube once said, it was a good day. I'm sorry I'm not gonna let any negative Nelly cloud up my sunshine-pumping right now.
