If Andy Dalton, Why Not Marv Lewis, Seriously?

I dont understand how Marv Lewis is worse than Andy Dalton. 34 at QB is maybe worse than 64 as head coach especially for a QB who has been playing backup and losing for years. Dalton has a similar .500 type record. Dalton is likely a lake duck too but either one could stick around if they win enough. I would rather finish this year with a Jim Mora type head coach than with the least accomplished head coach in modern Saints history who can’t even be positively compared to Haslett or Ditka because they both had better results.

If the Saints were to fire DA before the season is over I hope that the front office would promote from within to maintain continuity rather than blow the whole thing up mid season. Sometimes just a fresh face in charge can turn things around, even if it's just a temporary Band Aid while you find out who is available after the season. There should be some young up and coaching coaches for the front office next year. No need to rush DA out the door.

But I do agree with the idea that change to the old ways might be appropriate now. What we have going now is stale and is simply regurgitating Sean Paytons' formula back again.

However, it's too early to make a decision on whether to cut bait with DA just yet. Do you demote DA back to DC? How would the defense react to that?
