Payton has fired five assistants: Joe Vitt, Bill Johnson, Greg McMahon, Stan Kwan and James Willis, according to Alex Marvez of Sporting News. Vitt is the most noteworthy name on that list. He has served as Payton’s assistant head coach since 2006 and was the Saints’ interim head coach in 2012, when Payton was suspended for Bountygate. Also noteworthy is that Payton clearly thinks it’s time to improve his special teams: McMahon was special teams coordinator and Kwan was assistant special teams coach. Johnson coached the Saints’ defensive line, and Willis was a linebackers assistant.
PatternMaster Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 This is a sign that Peyton his on his last stand as the HC for the Saints, he needs to fix that defense or he will be looking for a new job next year. Surprised he hasn't been fired yet, since that Super Bowl victory years ago they have been in steady decline. If I were Peyton I would be trying to get to LA, young QB and good defense in place..a perfect setup for him.
