Former Raiders CEO Amy Trask has interesting response to Saints promoting Dennis Allen
John Sigler ...........ouch!!

"People learn on the job. They grow up on the job. They evolve. … I hope for the sake of the Saints organization and Saints fans that Dennis learned and grew and grew up as well."

There aren’t many executives who lasted longer with one team than Amy Trask. The former Raiders chief executive officer was promoted to the job after working in Al Davis’ front office for ten years, and she held the title for the next 16 years — resigning on May 11, 2013, midway through Dennis Allen’s run as head coach of the black and silver.
now an analyst for CBS Sports, Trask shared her take on news of Allen being named Sean Payton’s successor with the New Orleans Saints. And it’s a bit of an eyebrow-raiser.

“Let me be very, very clear and straightforward about this: people learn on the job. They grow up on the job. They evolve, they learn from mistakes, they can get better,” Trask said during a Tuesday interview. “I hope for the sake of the Saints organization and Saints fans that Dennis learned and grew and grew up as well. I was not surprised by the hire, but I was surprised — is that a saying, like ‘funny, but not funny?'”

Do you agree with the writer or do you disagree?

I don't have an account for that page so, won't be reading the article, but... I agree with the sentiment. I think the fact that Dennis Allen is not coming in from outside the organization and already has a solid defense in place makes this a different situation.

Also, that the players are already familiar with him should help as well.

The only tweets or "updates" coming from Metarie Dr needs to be ... "BREAKING NEWS".

Terrible in game decision maker, ZERO situational awareness, same excuses on the podium every week, questionable roster moves (Jimmy G healthy scratches for weeks, Taysom rarely used in critical moments), defends his mediocre QB, no accountability whatsoever & 1-6 against real contenders or teams above .500.

Anyone (there's always gonna be that one

) that thinks this 2023 Saints team led by Dennis Allen should see the post season is wasting a weekend when you could be searching for your next Head Coach for New Orleans.

Enough is enough.
