The difference here is that I thought Peyton was actually a good coordinator.

The history on Payton seems kind of mixed. Don't forget that he was stripped of his playcalling duties back in New York by Fassel and essentially run out of town. Then he landed here where he ran some fairly average offenses (although admittedly he didn't have a ton to work with at the time). I hear a lot of people say that they believed Payton was a great coordinator all along, but I can't say I ever foresaw what has happened down in New Orleans. Maybe you saw something beyond all that, and if so, you obviously did a better job evaluating that one than me.

Oh not at all. He just never did anything to make me think that he was a bad coordinator. Garret, on the other hand, has done a lot over the years to make me think that.

eh. Jason Garrett is intelligent. He learns. some of the things he's done can be explained by looking at what cards he's playing with. and sometimes he just gets out coached. it happens to every coach in the league.

he's not perfect, but i like the attitude he's instilled in this team over the last three games.

bringing in gruden would be the worst mistake you could make. he's horrible.
