Sean Payton: I didn’t want Saints job

Saints head coach Sean Payton shares the story of general manager Mickey Loomis recruiting him to New Orleans, despite Payton’s interest to accepting a position with the Green Bay Packers. Payton goes on to discuss the Saints’ first home game at the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. Plus Drew Brees and Loomis reflects on the importance of winning that first home game and the steps Payton took to prepare his team.

Louisiana ranks 50th out of 50 states (per USNEWS, 2018). We are officially ranked below Mississippi. The rating is based on education, healthcare, job opportunities...everything. Sean Payton is simply speaking honestly. In the words of a Few Good Men (to anyone who disagrees with S P): You can't handle the truth.

[@voteZDLR]

Well I mean I'd have rather gone to the Packers BACK THEN over the Saints, too, it's not like he's from here, he had no loyalty or special interest in the team at the time but thank GOD he changed his mind. No way to know for sure what would've happened in an alternate reality but I actually part way think that he had more success with the Saints and will enjoy a better, stronger legacy than if he went to a more established club like the Packers. Sean Payton is basically, arguably, the #1 reason that the Saints are the opposite of a joke anymore. He's taken a lousy team and transformed them into legitimate perennial playoff contenders, and I think going forward (especially if Drew plays a few more seasons) we'll not only see more playoffs, we'll likely see more Super Bowls, and basically I think the next 10 years of the NFL if Coach plays the draft well enough we might actually be the next NFL dynasty team, similar to the Patriots, something Sean Payton has publicly said he'd like to set up WHEREVER he goes. Thank God we have him. Truly.

As a Detroiter I understand the magnitude of Peyton and Brees, and those 2 together built up a great team and I 100percent agree with you that ultimately those 2 going to the Saints was the start of the Saints saving the city! That firs game back at the Superdome vs Atlanta Falcons on MNF was magical and when the Falcons punt got blocked and then the Saints ran it for a touchdown and then the place erupted, I have never heard anything like that in my life. Watching and hearing the Superdome crowd gave me goosebumps and I cried my eyes out. I felt that as I watching this magical moment that new Orleans is back and maybe even better than ever! It was a privilege to watch that night and to see how a community and football team came together for the love of the Superdome being back, and the love of the game and most importantly the love of the city, I'm tearing up now writing this. Although im a die-hard Lions Fan I'm proud to say that I'm now a huge fan of the Saints and the city, together y'all unstoppable!

They gave Mr. Benson credit for keeping the team in New Orleans when he passed, but the person who actually did that was this gentleman right here. If he and Brees don’t light it up in 2006 and reignite ticket sales, they’re the San Antonio Saints today.

[@joshualeonard9702]

Kelvin Ordon I didn’t pull that city out of the air. Mr. Benson made his fortune in car dealerships and banking in the San Antonio area. In 2005, the Saints played 3 of their home games in the Alamodome. Commissioner Tagliabue had to step in and force the organization to play the majority of their games in Louisiana at Tiger Stadium otherwise they’d have played all the home games in San Antonio.

I would honestly go as far to say Peyton and Brees are above all of those coaches/qbs not just for football but no other Qb/head coach have ever meant so much to a city. They kept the saints in Nola when everyone was looking for an excuse to move them. Drew and Peyton brought back a team, a franchise, and the entire city/ state. No other duo matches up to what they mean to the city. When drew retires they will build a statue of him the next day. Sometimes things are bigger than football and the impact brees and Peyton have had in Nola is unmatched.

It is a love/hate relationship living in New Orleans/Louisiana. The city and state each have a slew of problems, but all I did was miss them when I was living away.

I am not a football fan, don't understand the game, can't follow the ball, etc. But I watched that first game , from my refuge up in Washington State, and I personally felt reborn.

I am so grateful to Sean Payton, to Drew Brees, to Steve Gleason, to the whole team, for the huge part they played in New Orleans' recovery.

[@patjohnson8450]

I've been a die hard Saints fan since 1979 and I can tell you I've been through the heartbreaks for years of this team. Up until Payton and Brees arrived, they only had 5 playoff appearances and 1 playoff win. Even during the pre-Payton/Brees days they were fun to watch but could find a billion ways to lose games at the end and crush your soul. I've seen them blow 35-7 leads 34-14 leads, lose with hail mary's and alot more. They would beat teams they had no business beating and lose to teams they should have dominated. What a crazy ride it has been. The worst tenure for me was when Mike Ditka was head coach from 1997-1999. God he sucked!

[@Narrate918]

Packers gotta be kicking themselves hiring McCarthy over Payton

[@Mr_Don1]

I wouldn't think so. I'm a Saints fan, but I think that has worked out perfectly for both organizations. They have both won a Super Bowl since.

[@Narrate918]

+Mr. Don Sean Payton is regarded as the finest offensive mind in the NFL. Mike McCarthy is an average coach who's benefited from having a generational player at QB. I still have no idea how McCarthy even got an interview for that job. His stint as OC in San Francisco was a disaster. Most Green Bay fans would gladly take Payton over McCarthy.

[@Mr_Don1]

@@Narrate918 those regards are from people who don't know football, or people who just simply have biases. "Average coaches" don't win Super Bowls. Do you think that Sean Payton would be viewed the same way if he didn't have Brees? I'm not sure why people regard Rodgers as so great, and Brees not so much, when they are basically equals. I would probably give Brees an edge, to be honest. They are both great, but just because Rodgers has a stronger arm and more mobility doesn't necessarily make him a better QB. Is Payton a good coach? Yes, but as great as he has been of an offensive coach (and not always...I wouldn't consider a great passing game without a running game a 'great offense'), he has been almost equally bad with his defenses. McCarthy was a great coordinator who went on to become a good head coach in his own right...just the same as Payton has. Perception often times isn't reality.

[@Narrate918]

+Mr. Don So much wrong with your response but the fact that you think Brees is better than Rodgers proves that you have no clue what you're talking about. No one with half a brain would have made that statement. Just wow.

[@Mr_Don1]

@@Narrate918 are you serious? It's not wrong or right...just a difference of opinion. Just look at the numbers, dude. I conceded the fact that Rodgers has a stronger arm and is more mobile than Brees. Yet, Brees is still able to put up equal to or better numbers than Rodgers, with less physical ability. What does that say, do you think? If you are a Packers' fan, then your opinion on them makes sense. Rodgers has a ways to go to catch up with Brees...not in actual ability, but in putting up numbers, and skins on the wall. If he does it, then I will agree with you, but he's pretty injury prone, too. That takes away from his greatness, in my opinion. He has to shake that if he wants to be ahead of Brees when they are both done playing.

[@koukis143]

As a lifelong Falcons fan, liking the saints was never entered into it, but ducktailing out of Katrina to a new regime, quarterback, and eventually not long after a superbowl win, and a consistent winning culture that always has a chance to win each sunday behind Sean and Drew is something they deserve after so long being the Ain'ts

S DONALD brees doesn’t even have 3 rings with the team they have now lol

[@sdonald83]

SkiinLvzt news flash.... Arod can make throws that other QBs can not (Except for Mahomes).... Brees and Brady said this not me

[@canadianboy7033]

@@sdonald83 Arod can make throws that others cannot? Are you daft? Aaron is a stats padder. There are NO throws that Rodgers has ever made that Brady, Manning, Brees, Stafford, Rivers, Favre or really any other B-tier QB could not make. That hyper-fantasy of crowning Rodgers as being able to make unheard-of throws is overhyped and annoying AF. You're not 11, start watching games yourself and stop salivating over a dude who's done literally nothing to carry his team in a decade. If you REALLY think that Rodgers would have more rings even with Bill at helm, you're lying to yourself. The guy isn't clutch in the playoffs and needs a strong D to make it through. I'd much rather be rolling with Drew, Brady or P Manning when he was active and healthy.

[@sdonald83]

Canadian Boy and you make no damn sense. Marino was probably one of the greatest throwers of the football. Where’s his rings? They did not surround him by the “personnel” but he still in the hall of fame... These are not my words about throws that he can make that others can’t. Those are Brady and Brees’ statements! Also, Bennett who played with both Brady and Rodgers even said Rodgers is a better thrower but not leader. So do you really think because you write a long paragraph that I’m going to side with you? lol your hate for Rodgers is strong Skip Bayless

[@sdonald83]

Canadian Boy I have a right to my opinion. You are one angry dude lol. Rodgers is one of the greatest QB of this era. These are not my words but NFL legends who played the game Sharpe, Carter, Moss Etc. So u stfu!... By the way just like Marino you can only carry a team so far if you don’t have the personnel. You can roll with Brady and Brees who gives a 💩? I probably would pick Brady over Rodgers in the playoff. Rodgers is great but it doesn’t mean Brady or Brees are not....Rivers? Lol

The football God's shined on me in 2006... Miami's doctors refused to give the dolphins the green light to sign Brees so he comes to my saints... Nick Saban didn't get his quarterback and realized he wanted to be back in college... And he comes to Alabama... All I can say is Roll Tide and Who Dat!!

[@MrLp1980]

[@enlightenedwarrior7119]

No one could have beat the saints the first game back in the dome

[@ryanreeves5441]

Brees & Peyton saved that city. I hope Brees comes back for 1 more season.
