Head Coach Search

lee909 · 01-25-2022, 01:51 PM

So do you continue with the in house team or start searching outside?

Going to be a big offseason, cant see the big tradable QB looking to come in without Payton at the helm. For me i would be looking outside for a fresh coach with new ideas who can build the team he wants, not trying to carry on with the same plan with a difference voice. Or if you want to go down the Dennis Allen route would you just change things up at OC

Who would the forum look at as possible replacements

The turd bucket got Taysom Hill a contract extension and ducked the hell out. I'm getting pretty pissed thinking about this.

I'm fine with promoting within.

If I have my way DA is the answer and we keep the rest of Sean's staff.

Depends…Is he done with the Saints or just taking a year off? I think that’s the deciding factor.

I’m pissed that he was good with giving Taysom that contract then leaving. Might as well start trading/cutting players that were bad decisions. Hill, Peat, Ruiz, Jenkins, etc…

We are beyond salary cap hell. No good coach is going to want to come here so our best option is to promote from within and clear this dead weight.

Caldwell could slowly get us out of cap hell and build a good overall team. I'm not an Allen fan. Just wonder if he bails if he doesn't get the HC job even if so there are some pretty good DC's out there.

The more i think of it the more i would look to move in a fresh team.
Promote those young enough who want to be there long term.

Problem i see staying with someone like Pete Carmichael is he will likely try to stay with the same playbook he has been used to for the past 15 years and the league is rapidly changing. And we have no Brees who was the playbook. For me i would be looking for a young coach, let him build his team and stick with him. It would likely be painful for a year or two while you clear some of the highly overpayed players who won't be around but clear him cap space over the next season or two for picks and let him rebuild for the long term. I honestly think the worse thing to do would be to panic and try and hold it all together, keep the vets as a need presence etc and Clearing space by extending the like of Peat,Jenkins etc again. Again something that would likely mean some hard trades(Jordan/Thomas) etc.

Bring in a young, innovative offensive mind.

Kellen Moore, Eric Bienemy, Byron Leftwich, or Bryan Daboll (Bills OC).

papz · 01-25-2022, 02:38 PM

I'm good with that too. But in doing so, you likely lose the majority of the defensive staff as well.

Wonder if Pete Carmichael would get any consideration?
