Unless we "trade" his rights is how I understand it.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

The best way to do this without changing schemes and losing the good coaches we have is to make Dennis Allen the head coach, Ryan Nielsen the DC and keep Pete Carmichael as OC if he wants to stay.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

What a pounding we be taking. Ouch.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

I’m not saying I want Allen as HC. But I would not dismiss him just because he struggled with. Raiders. A LOT of coaches struggled with that franchise. His tenure there was a while ago and he likely learned a lot about being a HC serving under Payton. Belichick struggled with his first head coaching job too.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

The tricky part is that Kris Richard is getting interview to be a DC

Looks like whichever one(if they do) gets promoted you likely lose the other. Shame we lost Dam Campbell last year as he looks like he will be a good HC, thought he did well all things considered in Detriot

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Is it wrong that i would like to start a rumour going that Rex Ryan is coming in as HC and bringing back Rob as DC just to see the reaction?

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Simple have Sean swap jobs with Drew, keep the existing staff.
I think Drew would make an outstanding Coach..
So now back to reality.......

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Also that press conference was hard to watch..

Re: Head Coach Search
 

From what I hear he is a great play caller and X’s and O’s guy but not someone you want as a motivator/leader. He’s more of a soft spoken kind of guy.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Yes it's wrong and if you don't cease and desist we have no choice but to summon the Rougaru to deal with you...

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Players won't matter if the coaching isn't there thats what separate teams in the league EVERYONE HAS TALENT not everyone has coaching; this transition is going to be CRUCIAL. The Saints need to take a Vacay as well and follow Sean because they have some big decisions to make as well

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Leftwich just signed as the HC for the Jaguars. I think he will be a great fit there. Seems like he has a good offensive mind and as a former NFL QB he should be able to develop Lawrence.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

For some reason Kellen Moore came into my head....I think there have been multiple backroom talks with Cowboys. I think Allen or Moore.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Dennis Allen. Great job with the defense. Familiar to everyone. Deserves another shot after the Raiders dysfunctional organization. The Saints don't need an overhaul. Just a smooth transition.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Good for Byron and I'm glad he's getting a shot with the Jags.

There is talent in Jacksonville. Coach 'em up!

Re: Head Coach Search
 

This just posted 30 minutes ago. It appears the Jags job isn't finalized yet.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Cap hell is the reality even if some won’t admit it. Yes we could keep the band together if we restructure all our big contracts to prorate more bad money into future years, but the band was 9-8, will be a year older and more injuries in, and this will just put us in the same cap hell next year. In this cycle we cant add anyone and the bad contracts we restructure leave them with even more guaranteed money and potential dead cap if cut in future years, so we end uo renewing our vows with taysom hill, andrus peat, and michael thomas, tearing up whatever prenup we might have, betting big on Lattimore being the same player in his 30’s, and the cycle continues until Peat is 45 and inactive every week with a $100 million cap his if his 10 years of prorated bonuses are triggered with a cut.

Top coaches would not be wise to take the Saints job. The best bet is for young defensive coaches who this is their only shot, who can make a name on our defensive players even if the offense is poor, and perhaps weather the storm and get a job as a top DC even if they just last 2 mediocre to poor seasons here. A young offensive coach would be unwise to take the Saints gig given our only decent receiver combined then grievances of a young antonio brown with the ankle health of a post-browns terrelle pryor, our top qb under contract is a 30-something running qb coming off a multiweek concussion and lis franc injury who has never stayed healthy as a starter at any level, we are locked into playing Andrus Peat and or paying his medical bills by his bad contract, we dont have the cap to make improvements, and to make a splash a young OC simply needs to succeed with the same pieces that Sean Payton couldnt. So an Aaron Glenn or Dennis Allen could make sense. Or someone could insist on a 5-10 year contract and GM powers and do the rebuild for 2 years.

Here comes speedo in 3, 2, 1...

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Re: Head Coach Search
 

And again...wait for it...

Re: Head Coach Search
 

I’m leaning more towards continuity. Let’s go Dennis Allen.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

It's early on, but I'm leaning the same way for the same reason.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

It's Allen if we're not going to gut the team and rebuild. Otherwise, I like the idea of new blood.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

NO

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Why not?

SFIAH

Re: Head Coach Search
 

No, as in he isn't the only one who kind of wants Bienemy. Unfortunately that line wasn't shown in me quoting it.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

People can grow and change, but Eric Bieniemy has a history of being a pretty big piece of crap. There’s reasons teams won’t hire him.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Hey Chris. I don’t doubt at all, but can you remind me what you are referring to.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Assault of a female parking lot attendant in 1993 and 2001 DUI I believe.

Here's a story covering it ...

Re: Head Coach Search
 

I hadn't considered this possibility. He has the in-state ties, for sure.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Bieniemy is piece of trash. He's the type of coach that, if left in charge, will let the locker room destroy itself. Just my opinion. I'd rather not have him coaching the Saints. Him being a member of the Saints in any capacity would be ironic.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

I really don’t think we have much of a choice. Coaches won’t exactly be lining up at the door given our cap and Qb situation.
If you are trying to get your first chance as a HC you want to go with a team that’s trending up instead of one that’s just…trending. This is going to be a tough place to succeed for a while. I think DA is probably the safest bet right now. We can finally make a push for Gruden, or Urban Mayer for that matter.
Wonder what the draft is going to look like now.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Reed has a winning history. I think it’s more him and Mahommes than anything else.

Re: Head Coach Search
 

Yeah, I don't see how bringing in anyone from the outside would work if wanting to keep the staff together unless they were simply a placeholder. Any legitimate hire brought in would want to have a say in staffing, I would imagine.
