this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's great to see former HCs filling specialized roles for DA. I don't get the impression he has any intention for this team other than being the best....

Re: Doug Marrone Back In New Orleans
That's the drift I'm getting, as well. I don't think he expects any steps back. More like full speed ahead. Hopefully with Marrone working some of his magic with the o-line.

Re: Doug Marrone Back In New Orleans
Honestly, when SP started doing this is when our coaching staff really flourished. Nolan and Allen come to mind right off.

![]() I just love the wealth of experience DA is bringing in. We probably gonna have to do a little bargain shopping in FA and rely on the draft to navigate trough a pretty rough cap situation and having coaches that, hopefully, can get the best out of unheralded players will be key. |

Re: Doug Marrone Back In New Orleans
Ex-coach Charlie Weis said a few months ago (yes, on XM NFL Radio) that when hiring staff he learned the hard way that only bringing in people you know, yet with no experience with the positions, can be a disaster. He also said that bringing in people with experience, but not having a working relationship can also be an issue.
Dennis Allen appears to be bringing in people he knows that also have a great deal of experience. Win/win. |

Re: Doug Marrone Back In New Orleans
Exactly! That was his point, K. He said those were the mistakes he made at Kansas and Notre Dame. They were talking about what he would tell a first time head coach and he pointed out what he did wrong in building staff back then. He didn't use the hiring strategy he is now supporting. Hopefully Dennis Allen has learned from some of his own mistakes the first time around, as well, plus seeing what did and didn't work with Payton.

guessing on WHY HE SUCKED. He says he learned from his mistakes, but where is the evidence of that? When was his last successful NFL season ? |
