If Benson lives to be 100 and every year is 7-9 Payton will remain coach as long as HE chooses. Tom Benson has a legacy now in the NFL because of Sean Payton. Hell, the stadium at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is now called Tom Benson Field.

If this was any other franchise other than perhaps the Patriots I would agree with you. But, it isn't.

That right there should tell you how screwed up the Saints organization is. We were all screaming for Payton to fire all his buddies on staff and put his personal feelings aside for what is best for the team. Thank god he did. Finally. No reason ownership shouldnt be held to the same standard.
