I'm glad they hired Allen, the D has been growing into a formidable unit under him the last couple of years. I hope he gets another DC because I am no fan of head coaches being coordinators and calling plays, they have enough on their plates anyways.


Seems to me like some here forget that we ahev already seen a full season of Carmichael as the OC, back in 2012 when SP was suspended. The season as a whole was trash with the worst defence in leauge history but the O produced with Brees throwing for over 5 000yds. I think we wil be altright there.

Bienemy's contract is up in KC. Maybe we were trying to sell him on the OC job as well. Rumor has it Carmichael will be promoted to assistant Head coach and not OC.

I’d be very surprised if Eric is even remotely interested in a lateral move.

And with no QB in place for New Orleans.

I had Bienemy on the top of my list, then Leftwich, and then Allen. Flores would really be at the top of my list if not for the lawsuit. It’s just too much of a distraction right now. I have a lot of concerns now, but we gone see how it all shakes out.

He'll never get the recognition he deserves with Mahomes and Reid getting most of the credit. Making the Saints offense back into one of the league's elite would be a huge feather in his cap.

All speculation, but it would be interesting.

17 games now. So 9-8 or 8-9.

I believe the Saints will be better if for no other reasons than it's unlikely that there will be as devastating an injury season as last year.

Having your other four starting offensive linemen has to be worth a game or two, as well.

Interesting to hear his thoughts on the offense. He emphasizes running the ball and being physical while creating explosive plays. Sounds like he’s envisioning a ground and pound offense that can set up play action shot plays.

We already needed speed at WR, but RB could be higher on the wishlist than we think.

This is the new NFL. It's a passing league.

Look no further than the participants in Sunday's Super Bowl. Both are ranked at the bottom half of the league with the rushing attack.

We'll be ok :bng:

What if there's someone in mind already?

What if there's plans for a special QB coming in 2022 along with a new OC?

What if Carmichael stays on with more oversight?

We just don't know enough yet to dismiss any possibility as a bad move.
