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...

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
