SPECULATION - Tony Sparano as O Line Coach
 
Worked with Payton in Dallas.

Not a great head coach, but an excellent O line coach.

What would you all think?

Good idea saintsfan1976, I like it.

Some coaches are just great position coaches and not HC material.

As long as Sean Payton is there... sure.

As long as he has no say in our offensive philosophy and stick to what he does best. He's sucked as a HC and OC and their lines weren't great either... and that's with some pretty good OL personnel. Don't really remember how he was in Dallas.

A change of scenery can do a man wonders.

Agreed. Unfortunately it seems KC has the first shot with Payton out.

I wouldn't be against it. They could get some insider tips from him since the Saints play the AFC East next season. He may be looking for some incentive anyway since he was put in a position to fail as an OC for the Jets. That team had zero talent at the skill positions. Their QB situation was almost as bad as Arizona's, Shonn Greene isn't that great. Santonio Holmes is not a #1 receiver. Dustin Keller is merely an average to above-average tight end. Their O-Line wasn't very good. As much as I admire Sean Payton, even he wouldn't have gotten a decent season out of that bunch.

I don't like him but that's just a personal thing......I don't know what kind of O line coach he is and how good he will be.

NFL Rumors: New Orleans Saints Want Tony Sparano For Coaching Vacancy

Re: SPECULATION - Tony Sparano as O Line Coach
 
Who else is there to consider? Now that we've mostly conceded that coaching at the pro level is indispensable, which are considered outstanding? We should be giving this area a higher focus since it protects a potentially franchise crippling disaster from occurring.

The coaching profession is so insular that its hard to get objective assessment of their abilities.

Re: SPECULATION - Tony Sparano as O Line Coach
 
Key additions for 2013 are happening for every franchise EXCEPT ours.

Next season is NOW.

This is not SMU Roger. Stop the continued punishment of this team, this city and this region...

Be a professional. Reinstate our coach so the team can at least begin salvaging the 2013 season that it has already been crippled for.

I don't like Sparano. He's a rah rah guy, and comes across as very fake to me. I don't put any stock in position coaches. Coordinators are one thing, provided it isn't somebody like Carmichael who really doesn't have much, if anything to do with our offensive philosophy. But position coaches? Just look at Howard Mudd. This guy is supposed to be some legendary O-Line coach, but he goes to Philly and they have one of the worst offensive lines in the league now. Is that his fault? I doubt it. But the point is that position coaches only look as good as their players do. At least for the most part. It's just not the same as calling plays.

We used to have a decent offensive line, but then Stinchcomb retired and Jonathan Goodwin went to the 49ers. Of course, we also lost Carl Nicks, but Grubbs is a pretty good replacement. Stinch' and Goodwin aren't hall of famers, but they were better than the guys who took their place. I'm not hurt that Kromer left. I don't think anything, one way or another about him. Just looking forward to having Payton back.

Whatever Sp and loomis think. They are the reason we have a SB victory under our belt.

unemployement can do wonders.... besides he NEEDS a good resume for the future. The Dolphins then the jets were all failures

The dolphins and jets both had effective running games

He seems to be a good O line coach, I wouldn't be against it

I'd be willing to give Juan Castillo a shot at the O-line coaching position, since he did a rather fine job at it for the Eagles during his 13-year tenure as their O-line coach. Although I'm not sure what he is planning to do career-wise, so he might not be interested in the job.

Castillo will end up in KC with Reid I think. I am fine with Sparano being nothing more than a positional coach. Just the concept that he took the Jets O-coordinator job shows his lack of judgement should keep him out of higher positions than that.

That's the job he interviewed for in KC. And now that all the HC spots are filled, that's about all he'll be offered.

First Sprag, now Sparano. How many Italians do we need on this team ?

Hes a very good replacement for Kromer. I just hope Sprags understand he had a bye season. If he messes up the defense again next season with SP on the sidelines...omg...he will be humiliated on live TV every game by payton.
He better grow up quick.
