Anyone who doesn't think Sean's job is on the line, bull****. This is proof it is. This is one of the last moves coaches make to try and get a different result before their ass is thrown out. This was done because he had no choice, management is not happy with the results. Get better is what they just told him.

Totally disagree. Benson and Loomis both feel Payton can walk on water. This was a difficult decision that Payton made all on his own. He isn't stupid. He can see the same thing we all could see. He desperately wants the Saints to be a factor again and he knows that Vitt, McMahon and Johnson were all failing at making that happen. The ownership/management/HC relationship in New Orleans is unique. You cannot make assumptions based upon what other franchises would do. Sean brought a championship to the Bensons and they will never forget that fact. He has a job with the Saints for as long as he wishes.

It was Payton that was clearly not happy with the results. He didn't need anyone to tell him the Saints need to get better. Anyone who thinks that isn't the case, bull****.
