Head Coach Search

Out of all the candidates thus far, I want Byron Leftwich. I want a first time head coach with a fresh mind. The NFL background helps too.

Word is that Leftwich's agent is using the Saints to turn up the heat on the Jags to "get off the pot" on the deal they've been working on. By the way, all three candidates (Leftwich, Glenn, and Allen) for the Saints job all have the same agent.

I’m not feeling Glenn or Allen.

Not on Glenn myself. I'd lean toward Allen solely for continuity. Leftwich if they are willing to retool the coaching staff. I still see this roster as being in win now mode with Thomas and others returning from injury ... and that includes bringing back Winston.

I agree. Let’s get some fresh ideas rather than keep trying to use our retired coach’s playbook.

Looking like Vegas thinks Allen is the favorite to get the job. If Loomis and Payton had a succession plan in place Allen would be the only logical choice given he was the only one already in place.

Spock was brilliant with logic but very bad at its application and made the wrong choice +/- 80% of the time.

If you listened to Sean's press conference he said (paraphrasing) "When I quit, I first went in to tell Mrs. Benson, then I went to Mickey, then I went to Dennis" that's telling to me.

The sentiment is nice, but (with respect) if he didn’t prepare them a while ago for this then it really doesn’t matter who he told first. I guess I just mean I hoped this didn’t hit them out the blue.

No disrespect taken, and I mean none in return. I wasn't implying that everything came out of the blue. I'm sure there was a succession plan prior to this week. That doesn't mean it was in concrete WHEN the changeover was going to happen. Sean said he took a week to finalize his decision and I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt. He didn't go next after management/ownership to the OC, STC or any other coach just DA. Which to me was probably "here's the keys guy" situation. That's just how I see it. Time will tell.
