Sean Payton is 2009 NFL Coach of the year

New Orleans’ Sean Payton has been named NFL Coach of the Year by The Sporting News. He beat out Indianapolis’ Jim Caldwell for the honor, and this one is well deserved. Payton took a team that underachieved last year and got it to achieve. He won his first 13 games and, as I’ve said many times before, I believe Payton grew tremendously as a head coach this year.

I think these awards should be given after the playoffs. He finished the season on a 3 game losing streak and if Arizona comes in and blows them out then he cleary was unable to make changes as the opposing teams did down the stretch against his 13-0 team.

On the reverse, if the Cardianls head coach leads them to a second straight Super Bowl, how about acknowledging him?

I agree completely.

I know his team didn't win as many games as the Saints, but I think Rex Ryan deserves some consideration for getting his team to the playoffs his first year as well.

Payton and his Saints had a great year, but he's also had some very mediocre years with one of the league's best offenses in the past. I realize, however, that this is a yearly award and not representative of the coach's entire career.

Pitiful....can't even give a compliment without a 'but' following it.

Payton's a good coach. I just think the award should be given after the Super Bowl and in light of the full season.

How's that pitiful? Did I hurt your feelings or something?

you can't just say "well done" eh? Has to be some sort of shot against him...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
