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...

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
