Yeah, Payton was pretty candid about the coaches last year. Made it sound like they didn't know their ass from their elbow.
Payton obviously isn't going to be hiring anyone from that coaching staff, or asking them to hire him in the future.

Truth is, anyone could see that Hackett was in over his head, that's why he got canned so fast. It's not like Payton is saying much that isn't news.

The most interesting thing is he's backing his QB and throwing the previous coaching staff under the bus, we'll see if that changes should Russ start the season slowly. I suppose he doesn't have much choice for now, but it will be interesting to see if Russ is washed or not. Payton is a good coach but he had some mediocre years with Brees and the Saints too.
