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...

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.

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.

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.
