He’s a great coach. We wanted him as our DC and we got Daronte Jones instead because Sean Payton hates us. Home run in terms of player development on the DL.

Thats what I remember about him. Orgeron gave him an offer to be our DC but Payton wouldn’t let him go. Then Payton takes our DL coach 3 years later

He was a beast at NC State. But Marcus Davenport and Payton Turner also happened under him.

I don't know if Sean Payton hates LSU or not, but that's not why he didn't allow Nielson to leave. He was pissed that Orgeron tried hiring RN without contacting Payton first. Orgeron messed that up, not SP.
