Re: Head Coach Material
I was hoping there would be some candidates that y'all liked for the position of head coach. Da just ain't cutting it! I would like to see us bring in a fresh face and re-energize this franchise. Preferably an offensive-minded head coach with some fire.

Re: Head Coach Material
So you want to dump DA.
I'm curious as to the thought process. All talk of 'continuity hire' aside, don't you still need to have time in the HC seat to see if the team develops under him? True SP had a 10-6 season to start his HC career in NOLA, but he followed that with a 7-9 and 8-8 season. There was talk about axing him prematurely too, but the 4th season led to a Lombardi championship. You can have all of the ingredients to make a great meal, but even a great chef sometimes needs time to make it so. Does anyone here truly see a fast track to greatness without Brees, or is it just that some of us impatient because we've been spoiled by the glory days of yore? Your thought? |

Re: Head Coach Material
Lol, do things have to be “perfect” for a coach to have success? Injuries are a part of the game. Sign better depth. The NFL is hard for a reason.
No fire, no fizzle, no energy & the same ho hum post game story after taking an L. Seems to want to push things off on the “vets” in his presser every week. No accountability on his assistants, OC etc. Saints still lead the league in penalties (lack of discipline) & LAST in turnover differential. All Dennis does well is lose winnable games. Good luck on next week. Highland Park and Aaron Donald won’t feel sorry for us. This team is a direct reflection of it’s coach. Nope, Allen ain’t it as HC & he’s making a good case to be fired after the season. |

DA is not the guy to lead the Saints to another SB.

I hoped that the Saints would've signed Pederson as their HC and kept DA as the DC if that would've been an option. I know he isn't exactly lighting the world on fire in Jacksonville, but I think he could've brought a spark to the offensive side with the Saints, and he would've had the Lombardi pedigree. |

Re: Head Coach Material
Sean Payton's team was absolutely decimated last year. We started 4 different QBs and didn't have Lutz.
Our top WR was M Calloway. Yet we finished 9-8. Dennis Allen's coaching (or lack thereof) thus far is inexcusable. Stop it. |
