Well it looks like those that were concerned that Carmichael "requested a demotion" can sleep easier tonight. It appears he stepped aside to be considered among outside competition.

I think the odds of retaining Jameis just increased with the offense remaining closer to home.

Can't wait to see what he schemes up calling plays.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Yeah I don’t know about this. Pete’s spent years trying to avoid being in a position of authority because apparently it’s just not his style. Now we have a defensive head coach so it’s squarely on Carmichael to run the offense.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'm pretty sure that I have faith in Pete..pretty sure.
It's almost as if Sean set the stage before he left..

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

So it’s the Sean Payton Saints minus Sean Payton and we’re expecting improvement?

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

What are you worried about we got Doug Marrone...
But seriously our O-Line should show improvement.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

“Hopefully” it’s the Saints minus Payton...but plus Thomas and minus the fascination Payton had that Hill can be a viable QB. Simply getting rid of some of Payton’s ideas including his “projects” may go a long way to helping the team. Baptiste anyone? I don’t want to hack on Book either, but he is a project guy I doubt many HCs would have taken when/where Payton drafted him. Hope he proves me dead wrong.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Fair question... and in all fairness also, we should always expect and see improvement, no matter who is at the helm. We'll see what portends.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'm expecting improvement just based upon the degree in which the offense was decimated last year. It CAN'T get worse ... can it?

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

True. There were more than a few complaining that Payton was getting stale for lack of a better word.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

How do you know this for certain?

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

A perennial top 10 offense. Outside of personnel, what needs to be improved?

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Well he's more than qualified. I was hoping for a fresh set of eyes but I'm good with it. As long as we don't see any 4 and short jet sweeps, we'll be just fine.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'll be curious to see what Dougie M does with the O line. Specifically RUIZ, Peat & Landon Young.

Collectively, the Saints O line didn't perform up to their potential in 2021, even when healthy.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Pete Carmichael called the offense in 2012 with no input from Sean Payton. Saints had the #2 offense in the NFL. It was the defense that was a trainwreck.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Exactly. I think given an improved O-line, with a qb( hopefully Winston) that has a really good deep ball (2011 and 2012 season come to mind) a set of decent rb's and wr's we could be a very good O with him calling the shots. This draft and FA's are going to be key for the O this season, more than any in recent years.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I think Hill might become a really good TE in a short period of time. I don't look at him as a qb anymore. One more concussion with the his style of play bothers me also. I can't discount Book yet but he's tough. He might do better with a line to protect him. We got Bortles also, he will beat Hill out in camp if the Hill experiment continues.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'm not putting Pete down - I believe he's capable. It's one thing to be OC when you have a Drew Brees. It's quite another if you don't. We shall see...

We already know you get your thoughts from tweets other people make. You don't have to post them here relentlessly.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I am glad they settled on Pete. With MT and focus on improvement of the Oline return of Jamis all sets up for a real look to the future of our offense. Itis sounding more likely that Kamara will be facing significant legal hurtles as LVPD and The Attorney General’s office is not mitigating but continue ti increase the level of charges. Time will tell but we might need to be knee deep in the running back draft.

I think Pete’s offensive game planning and game calling will be within the system that has been this teams offense during the SP years but will be game planned and call different.

Allen will have a roll in this and I think it’s a good thing … aggressive and strategic is how I’ve viewed him operate his defensive game planning and play calling and hopefully he bring some of that input to Pete and the offense.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Well, as our resident cap specialist (little speedo) has repeatedly advised us, the cap doesn't matter, and he knows all the accounting principles to be found on wikipedia. Therefore we should just go out and sign the two highest rated players available at the position and draft elsewhere.

Then again, we could sign Russell Wilson and an entirely new o-line as well as two or three of the highest rated vet WRs in the league.

Because, you know, the cap doesn't matter... :rolleyes:

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'll be curious to see if Pete C adds another weapon at RB this off-season.

AK is gonna get the David Onyemata treatment & then some.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

Agreed major. Don’t see how they can’t add a player or two in the backfield.

Re: Pete Carmichael will stay on as the Saints offensive coordinator
 

I'm definitely glad that we will follow the same format without blowing up the offense which has several weapons. Get healthy boys. There is a big year in front of us.
