Seriously? The guy has a career win percentage of .635 in the regular season, .600 in the playoffs, has taken the Saints to two NFC championships, won a Super Bowl, won three division titles, been to the playoffs in five out of his seven seasons as head coach, and has had a top 15 offense every year as a head coach. I'd say most importantly he's taken the Saints from being perennial afterthoughts to being perennially feared by every other team in the league. Who is out there that you think is better than Payton at the moment?
I'd say the top 5 coaches in the NFL at the moment are Carroll, Payton, the Harbaugh brothers, and maybe Belicheck. The Saints would be insane to fire Payton.
