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...

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
