I get loyalty, but where was Payton's loyalty to the team, fans, and Drew Brees when he failed to replace some of these ineffective assistants for five years-plus?

Your first sentence sheds light on your question. During repetitive transition periods its sometimes difficult to discern whether its the manager or assistant manager that's the problem. Assuming those DC's were given autonomy they may have decided to keep him as a continuous piece.

Just look at the Jets, they change HC and GM so often its difficult to get a good feel for the real issues.
