Head Coach Search

Realistically, I’m guessing Dennis Allen will be the head coach. I don’t know if Pete Carmichael sticks around to be OC.

I posted a couple of years ago that Sean would leave right after Drew retired and I got blasted. I had a gut feeling and I hoped was wrong but now I hope we get rid of players that should of been gone long time ago. Yes, I’m talking to you Peat.

There’s no way I would hire 8-28 Dennis Allen to take over for Sean Payton. Give someone like Eric Bienemy, Kellen Moore, or Byron Leftwich a chance.

Same
If Allen wants to walk because of that so be it. Look to keep
Nielsen and Richards on board and promote one to DC.

Aren't we going to need to interview Bienemy, Leftwich, Caldwell, etc. per the Rooney rule?

That's what I'm thinking too. Just couldn't remember if the Rooney rule applied to any coaching vacancy reason (in our case, resignation/retirement) or firing.

What a day. We were just recently lauding this as one of CSP's best coaching years and a dark-horse COTY candidate especially had we made the playoffs.

I think we gotta interview at least one of them. Has New Orleans ever had a Black head coach?

I wish Ryan Nielsen had a little more NFL coaching experience. By all accounts he’s a head coach in the making but he just isn’t quite there yet.

Offensive league Offensive Head Coach … Our defense is solid as a unit as whole Allen has done a respectable job. The head coach and the QB need to buy in to each other. As opposed to the defense which works as a unit with less focus on a single player. If you don’t have a QB with the it factor then you don’t have a good offense in NFL … you don’t have shot at long term success and championships.
