Just finished Coach Sean Payton's book called Home Team. Great read gives a background about his rise through the coaching ranks to eventually leading the Saints to the Super Bowl.I am going to share a couple of my favorite parts: 1. Coaching is a small fraternity. People talk. Relationships matter. Take good care of them.
2. Parcells take on the Saints job: "You've got to figure out what's kept that organization from winning. Quickly. Figure it out quickly. Or three year from now, they'll be having another press conference announcing the hiring of another new coach."
3. Thoughts of rebuilding the Saints: These jobs were open for a reason. Whatever the dysfunction might be-it had to be repaired top to bottom, across the organization. How we traveled. How we ate. How we sold tickets. And, yes, how we played football. We had to look at everything. We had to look at everything under a microscope. We had to find the right quarterback and the right guys working in the locker room. And we needed a whole organization to support what we were doing. We will WIN as a ORGANIZATION, not just a team."
4. Core beliefs were: Character, Toughness, and Intelligence
