Saints hire Dennis Allen as Head Coach

This increases the likelihood that Winston returns IMO.

I like DA for continuity, but I would have liked Flores to spit in Rog's eye (and I think he would have done well)

Who didn’t see that coming? My biggest fear is that they’ll just try to stay true to what Sean Payton did and be afraid to shake things up. Will Dennis Allen be able to establish his own identity?

Payton handed him the keys to the kingdom as the DC, Payton leaves and gives him the thrown. I really believe Payton set this up. Not an Allen fan. 9-7 to 8-8 this season. Hope he proves me wrong.

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.

Getting Lutz back is at least 2 more wins

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

Good catch. 9-8 or 8-9 it is.

I'm ok with Allen I guess. I didn't want Pederson and think he's overrated garbage.

I think DA deserves a shot and as many have said here Sean is handing over a stable foundation. Pete at OC will be crucial to the transition. As for Pederson my gut tells me he wouldn't capture the locker-room. But I was liking the idea of Flores coming in, when it comes to the NFL he speaks our language. Now I like Lovie Smith but I think the Texans made a huge mistake but time will tell.
