Sean Payton

Based on common sense, he is.

He was about to get fired before Roman and Lamar saved him.
He was about to get fired with Joe Flacco's sorry *** as his QB, yes. He was smart enough to move on and stay with Lamar when the chance presented itself. He'd get a job in a heartbeat if he were ever fired.

I wouldn't necessarily go so far as to say he's overrated. I just think he called a poor game today.

Alvin Kamara had just 7 carries today? That's ridiculous. And the timeout misuse at the end of the game cost them a chance to get a TD in regulation. I'd give him an F grade today, but in general he's solid.
 
John Harbaugh.

Jim is overrated too, though.
John Harbaugh is not overrated. Won a SB, and the Ravens are usually a playoff contender. Adjusted his philosophy when he realized what a talent Lamar Jackson is. Hired top assistants to try and maximize this window. One of the favorites for the SB this season. He may not be an X&O guru but he’s an excellent CEO-HC.
 
Dude is a really good coach, some have forgotten how Brees looked in San Diego. Top five in the game.

Great OC - maybe best in the NFL - but meh HC.

Aints just don't have that much skill talent on offense. Their MVP of the game was Taysom Hill...and it wasn't a Diaz defense they were facing. Vikes have Cook, Thielen, Diggs, Rudolph. Playmakers.

Winning on the margins like with clock management matters when you are a methodical offense that relies on schemed plays and dink and dunk throws to (overrated as ****) cloutchaser Thomas to move the ball.
