Before he became head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton was an assistant for the Dallas Cowboys. Nakia Hogan, of the Times-Picayune, has the story, below.

Before Sean Payton slept with the Lombardi Trophy, chewed out kickers and intercepted Jerry Jones' wine order, he unassumingly walked the halls at Valley Ranch, barely gaining notice from outsiders.

To many, he was just another one of Bill Parcells' disciples, a hard-working Dallas Cowboys assistant coach who stayed away from the limelight.
