Sometimes God keeps you from screwing yourself - Thankfully he sent us Jeff Ireland to save Payton/Mickster from themselves...

I've never seen a greater coach handicap himself more with personnel moves than Sean Payton...

7-9, 7-9, 7-9 is what happens when you give someone absolute organizational power - we're a Republic and that means checks and balances...

It was GOD himself ONLY! That kept us from getting Foster, remember the kid hung up on us cause the 49ers called and told him that they we're trading up to pick him. Red flags popped up then on his maturity, his agent should've told him not to come out arrogant and disrespectful to a team that down the line might be in negotiations to pick you up if you by chance realeased. IF HE BECOMES AVAILABLE, SAINTS PLEASE STAY AWAY

I give Jeff Ireland full credit for turning this team around. Payton gambles too much and Mickey has always been his yes man. They both needed a real GM to run the show. I say that because Mickey is really a high value accountant who doesn't have a football background or full understanding of running an organization. Since Jeff Ireland came on board our drafting has dramatically improved.

I wonder how much influence he had on the recent coaching changes?

Well, he just got another contract and I'm sure they sweetened the pot...
