Saints lose another Defense coach...

Saints assistant DL coach Travis Jones has agreed to become the DL coach for the Seahawks

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Opps is all I can say.
Maybe cleaning house in defense of SP's part or maybe people found offers they could not refuse for whatever reason.
Hmmmm.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Who the hell would give any defensive coach at any position a shot at anything other than a high school job?

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

i doubt this is a big deal....not like the D-line was successful any way. that guy got the offer to be head DL coach he took it good for him. And maybe dude jumped at the chance cuz we're moving to 3-4.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

As bad as the unit was everyone should be fired anyway so no harm no foul.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I wouldn't exactly say the Saints "lost" any defensive coach.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I was expecting the new DC to bring his own people with him anyway...

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Or even that they had any.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

nothing funny there. either go or get canned

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I totally disagree. I think it is hysterical that a team on our schedule would hire such a competent professional.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I'd bet he was told to find another gig, and that just makes me think more and more the dude from SF will soon be our new DC...

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Sean already knows who his replacement is. He's got an exit strategy.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

the more defenseive coaches we lose the better, lol

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Took the words right out of my mouth pherein.

Travis who? Well, good for him - at least he got a promotion from assistant to head position coach.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

It just saved Sean some time from firing his azz. The writing was on the wall so he bolted.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

With so many square pegs in round holes on this defense, its impossible to blame a position coach for anything.

Players may not have been the only members of the defense that weren't used correctly.

I seriously doubt Seattle is stupid enough to hire a guy for their defense that actually sucks.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I concur. He's getting promoted from assistant DL coach(on the worst defense in the league) to DL coach on a stout defense. It says quite a bit on Jones and what Carroll thinks of his ability to teach. Just because we had a bad defense, doesn't mean all the coaches were bad. For whatever reason, it just didn't work out.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Yep x2, the guy was far enough down the coaching tree that he really couldn't be held that much accountable for what went on with the Saints defense. Good for him on getting a promotion.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Still the D-line's performances and its development has sucked for many years now. so forgive me if I'm not getting teary eyed because the assistant D-line coach got "poached" by another team.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Yep, just wish him luck/godspeed & send him on his way. No harm, no foul ... the Saints got bigger fish to fry, IMO. :mrgreen:.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Maybe he just didn't want to work for Romeo.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Or the other way around...

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

I don't think anyone is shedding a tear Fin. Just saying he may not be as bad as our results indicate.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

True, and I would lay much of the blame on the feet of Bill Johnson, at least when it comes to the D-line production and development.

Hopefully, the new DC, whoever it may be, will also bring in a new D-line coach and at least demote Johnson if they plan on keeping him around.

Re: Saints lose another Defense coach...
 

Looking forward to comparing Seattle's pass rush statistics between this year and next...
