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.
