Sean Peyton Embodies The Modern Head Coach

some of you are just straight up fisher haters...To be honest, if we made the superbowl, theres no way in hell I would want Fisher to call an onside kick to open the half down by 4 against Peyton Manning or Drew Brees.

Seriously, that onside kick was 99% luck. It was even poorly executed. Would you rather be lucky then good?

Props to Sean Peyton, but in no way shape or form do you have to be gutsy to be a superbowl coach, thats stupid.

 

Maybe posters should be bashing Caldwell for not being bold enough since it was his team that lost. Caldwell had his 42 year old kicker trying a 50+ yard FG rather than going for it and the conservative play calling at the end of the half allowed the saints to get 3 at the end of the half and took away the colts momentum from stopping them on 4th down.

I guess it is easier to be bold when you have a HOF type QB and a guy like Brees will add about 30 IQ points to any coach.

The onside kick wasn't as risky as some may think since he honestly didn't think his defense could stop Manning anyway and the colts player should have recovered it.

Was Garcon's drop of a first down pass the result of sean payton's genius?

Was a rookie FG kicker nailing 3 40 yard+ kicks a result of his genius?

 

As an older person, I can say that you are correct. We simply don't/can't take the chances we did when we were younger. We become afraid of change for whatever reason. I know I have to work to overcome some anxieties about things I never gave a thought to when younger. It has to do with one's mortality I guess. But it happens in all aspects of our lives, including our work. That's why I think 15 years is just too long to coach the same team in the same way.

 

FYI the Saints ran the ball 468 times this year. They were 6th in the league in rushing.

They were not just a pass only team.

The saints play mix this year was not unlike the titans in 2003 when fisher had a QB comparable to drew brees. Titan QBs threw for over 4000 yards that year.

 

He won the superbowl. I'll give him Credit for that. To crown him the best coach ever by winning a high risk gamble down by 4 and Peyton manning making a critical mistake is a bit premature.

 

Fisher takes Risks in Pre Season. Regular season he just plays conservative so we can get beat 59-0.

 

In 2009 the titans had 22 4th down plays.

The saints had 15 4th down plays.


Do any of you guys ever look things up before making stupid comments? Is it my job to constantly do this?

 

Jeff fisher was never any more conservative than in the 2000 season and that was 9 seasons ago. And he was even more conservative in the playoff game against the ravens.

The notion that he would be more conservative now is bogus.

We had more 4th down plays this year than we have had since 2005. There is no conservative trend but you can't blame him for not throwing more considering who he has had playing QB.

Give sean payton kerry collins and vince young and give jeff fisher Drew Brees and see how much smarter Fisher is as a coach.

We have not had the personnel to be a big passing team and everyone damn well knows this.
