"Let's go win a Super Bowl."
-- Steve Spagnuolo's first words to New Orleans coach Sean Payton, before "Hello'' or "Hi Sean, this is Steve,'' when Spagnuolo called Payton Thursday afternoon to tell him he was taking the Saints defensive coordinator position.

Got to like this.

"As soon as Tony (Dungy) said we had no chance, I knew we had 'em right where we wanted 'em"--Coach Sean Payton right after Super Bowl XLIV with the Lombardi Trophy firmly in hand. WHO DAT!!

well u don't want to pull a LeBron

and declare you’ll win more than Jordan before you even play a game with you’re new team LOL. Spags & SP gotta win one together before anything else. I think they will if Spags can make that D-Line half as good as he made the Giants in 07.

" I’ve never done drugs but I think watching Matty Ice stare blankly towards the field as Drew Brees kneels down while clock hits zero in a playoff game would be like doing cocaine off a strippers @$$#….yeah that good.

more Saints stuff from the article...

9. I think Sean Payton’s pursuit of Steve Spagnuolo was a smart one, during which Payton emphasized three things that were better than his competitors for Spagnuolo’s services. One: New Orleans won more — 41 victories over the last three years, including a Super Bowl. Two: Drew Brees. Three: Total autonomy.
The third wouldn’t have been different at the two other suitors, Philadelphia and Indianapolis. But Brees over Mike Vick — easy call. And the winning part — easy call. Spagnuolo can now mold the Saints defense in his likeness, which will involve less cover-zero and risky blitzing than the Saints ran under Gregg Williams.
