This is very interesting, I assume we will be hearing more about this in the near future:

Nah, probably + asst HC

Why would Carmichael turn down the interview for head coach just to be cut loose? I can possibly see him as associate head coach. It's been a pretty common practice with the Saints.

What if the extra long interview with Bieniemy was convincing him to become the OC in some manner?

Re: Pete Carmichael maybe out as OC
 

That was my initial thought. Bienemy to us as OC/ asst. HC. Why else would he leave? And what QB could he be most excited to work with??

Jameis Winston, perhaps?

I could be completely wrong but for Eric to leave a franchise QB, stud WRs #1-4, stud TE and potent run game for New Orleans ? ... To take a lateral move?

That's a hard sell.

Unless enough money is thrown at him

Re: Pete Carmichael maybe out as OC
 

Money AND recognition could do it. One of the knocks I kept hearing on him was that his success was dependent upon Reid, Mahomes, and those offensive weapons. Reinvigorating a Saints offense would really enhance his chances of landing a head coaching job sooner rather than later, wouldn't you think?

And being THE man with the offense wouldn't be a lateral move in that sense.

Re: Pete Carmichael maybe out as OC
 

Another thought on Carmichael. If he truly has no longer has ambitions to become a head coach what difference would a title be to him? As long as the money is right staying with the Saints in any capacity would be a possibility.

Yes, the article did state that he was likely to remain in a different role. If all this holds true, it will show DA has a very different image of what the new offense should be. Very interesting stuff!
