Who Dat Say Gonna Beat Dem Saints?

Welcome to Young Hollywood.

Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie with Young Hollywood and Yahoo Sports.

I'm here with the one and only Sean Payton.

Congratulations.

I have to say, I'm gonna just just shake your hand right now.

You're welcome.

And I have to say I need to see the ring.

Let's do this.

Let's put it on your hand here a second.

Oh my God, I'm.

Little bling bling.

Little bling right here.

This is kind of a big deal.

I mean like this is pretty special.

I'm wearing a Super Bowl ring on my finger.

I know.

Can I wear it during the interview?

Uh just five minutes.

I'm gonna hold it like this.

So, for five minutes we're gonna talk like this and we're

She's got it.

I have to give you back the ring because I'm like I don't want to.

I don't even I don't even know what to do with myself right now because for real like it says Payton on this side.

Can you maybe explain how it all works?

Yeah, there's a couple of things in here.

Um The players did a great job of helping and really putting the design together.

There's 44 uh diamonds on the outskirts which represents Super Bowl 44.

And then there's a row of eight and eight 16 which represents 16 wins.

And then the Fleur de Lys was kind of simple in the middle and we tried to keep it simple and this is where it's going to get really hard so your cameraman's gonna have to be awesome but you have a Superdome shot there, little float with the Lombardi Trophy.

Your name on it and then the cathedral with some music notes representing the city of New Orleans.

Oh my gosh.

And on the other side we've got basically the event time date, Super Bowl logo and the final score.

It was good.

It was it was so great because we were out at Super Bowl covering all the events and we went in the streets and the fans, the New Orleans fans are insane.

I mean I was getting crowded around the Who Dat chant the whole weekend.

You guys have so much support.

That's great.

That's the one thing that's really unique with our team.

That whole Gulf Coast uh has really really done a great job of pulling together, obviously through some tough times and rebounding and giving us the motivation.

How has your life totally changed, you know, becoming a winning Super Bowl coach?

When you get to that stage and have success I think that it helps um certainly it helps validate what you're trying to do as a team and as an organization and certainly personally it changes your life from a demand standpoint.

Um, but you handle it with like with anything else trying to be very humble and and handle it with balance.

What do you guys have to do to repeat next year?

Are there any certain things that you think you can do to maybe improve?

I I think this, we we have to get some more of these diamonds.

A couple of these sport coats right here.

All right.

Good interviews like this and I think we're on our way.

All right.

You're looking good with the ring.

Show the ring.

I gotta see that thing.

Oh yeah yeah.

Very beautiful, very beautiful.

I'm I can't take it off seriously.

I can't.

I mean this is something amazing and something I really want to try to get again.

So I'm gonna fight.

Well, I talked to Sean Payton yesterday.

He let me wear this during the interview.

Can you believe that?

Uh you wouldn't do that, huh?

Yeah, he he feels more comfortable about I don't know.

I it's something special.

Yeah.

This I worked my I worked my butt off, you know, all my career, my whole life.

People telling me, you'll never make it and And look at this.

And look at this.

This is to prove people wrong.

So

What do you love about working with Drew Brees?

He's such a class act.

Oh, he's a amazing quarterback, you know.

He he makes everybody else special around him, you know.

So you know, he he knows he's gonna be special and he makes everybody else makes special too.

You know, we do our best to to follow him because he's a great leader, great guy, great character, Jimmy.

Off the field, amazing guy.

Loves to have fun.

I mean, he's a he's a wonderful guy and there's nothing more you can ask for after that.

Right.

So what's gonna happen for next season?

What do you guys have to do to improve as a team because every team has to improve every year.

Well, you know, we just gotta maintain, you know, on our road.

You know, we gotta stick to what we know and what works for us.

We can't really go out and change too much.

We just gotta work harder and you know, we know everybody's gonna be gunning for us so we just go out there and play our game and can't change anything up.
