Sean Payton, who led the New Orleans Saints to an emotional Super Bowl win in the years after Hurricane Katrina, says he is stepping down as head coach
Payton, 58, had been with the organization since taking over before the 2006 season. He guided the Saints to playoffs nine times in his 15 seasons as head coach. In 2009, the Saints energized New Orleans, still reeling from Hurricane Katrina four years earlier, on their way to a 13-3 regular season record and a march to their first and, so far, only Super Bowl title."I don't like the word 'retirement,'" Payton said Tuesday at a news conference.
"I don't think any of us when we started, certainly I didn't when I started, understood the dynamics and what took place post-Katrina with that '06 season, that ... I would argue was every bit important as any other season."The Saints made the playoffs that season but lost to the Bears in the NFC championship game. After two middling seasons, New Orleans started 2009 with eight consecutive wins, and the people of the city got back their"Who Dat?" attitude.
