Can Drew Brees save the coach-less Saints?

Drew Brees has lead the New Orleans Saints to an NFL Super Bowl before... now he will have to lead his team as their head coach sits out a league-ordered penalty. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for the season (without pay) for coaching the team during "Bountygate," which rewarded players for injuring the opposing quarterback. Players and assistant coaches pooled their money to create a bounty reward. Now, Yahoo! Sports reports that Drew Brees will have to step up to save his team:
The franchise has no choice but to give into the QB's contract demands given his increased importance. - National Football League news
The Saints will likely get a head coach or promote an assistant coach, but they will have a hard time finding a good coach with short notice, and who will only fill in as interim. The team will have to quickly adjust to any new style, unless Brees continues to lead the team in their current, successful style.

    At least I hope not. As a solid Vikes & Cards fan, I have disliked the Saints since the obvious "seek and destroy" tactics they used back in 2010. They should have to give up the Superbowl title. It is not only unsportsmanlike to try to cause another physical harm for the sake of "winning" but immoral as well.

    The loss of Sean Payton is being over-rated with a veteran like Brees calling the plays.

    If anyone can pull it off, it'll be Brees.

    I think it's time for the paper bags over the heads again next season.

    There's more trouble down the road, a lot of defensive players will be diciplined, some maybe even suspended, in spite of the players unions efforts to head it off. There's no condoning what they did and many should be made to sit out the season. It'll be too much for Brees to overcome alone.

    You take away a head coach, asst head coach and suspend the GM for eight games, you quite literally cripple a franchise. But the Saints already have the tools in place to make another title run. If anyone can do this, it'd be Drew Brees. Hell, if he can get them to the playoffs, even if they "back in" during the last week of the season, this gu should automatically get the MVP for the season! That's just my take on this!

    Fantastic video, though the violence was over-played.
    Can Brees coach the defense? I see the Saints being the scapegoat of the whole thing, and being done for 2012-13 before one official snap has happened. The NFL is giving me every reason NOT to watch ANY games this season.

    He can if the saints confidence is not too badly shaken by the scandal.

    I suspect they'll have more penalties handed out from the NFL... it will shake them and deplete their depth.

    I am sure that is correct. They will be watched for every single hit.

    Agreed. I think EVERY sack they register this year will wind up being reviewed by the league offices this year!

    When Payton wasn't on the sideline for a couple of games last year, the Saints (and Brees) struggled. I think they may be in for a long season. The lost draft choices will really hurt in the next couple of years.

    To get results you got to inspect, so he needs to wake up and keep moving forward, you can do anything if you put your mind on it.
