Payton, like Andy Reid, took over for a team who accomplished nothing for decades prior to him getting there. The Saints had one playoff win in their entire history before Sean Payton took over.
Mike McCarthy started on 3rd base, Sean Payton started with an 0-2 count and still has a higher winning percentage (.631) than McCarthy (.614).
