Nice find, Oak. This research shows no correlation at all between age and time missed due to injury.

I don't think we're the type of franchise to cut a coach mid season. It's a bad look for other coaches looking to come here. We are a family run business and he'll probably get to live through the rest of the year. Double dang!

Re: Head Coach Material
 

Agreed. Most franchises won't abandon their selection for HC without giving him enough rope to hang himself...

DA is walking to the gallows. There's still time for a stay of execution. :bng:

Re: Head Coach Material
 

If the downturn continues, the best approach is to push the big button on Black Monday (first day after regular season concludes) and let go of Mickey and DA and any and all who report to them.

Not really rugs. It just shows we're not going to put up with a loser like Allen. He can't say he didn't have talent on this team or can't say he didn't throw away a now high first round desperatly now needed draft pick. He can't deny nothing. Firing him today is 6 months to late.

Re: Head Coach Material
 

I agree that we have wasted the opportunities to change the future of this franchise back to an upward pointing arrow. I don't know if that's as much Loomis's fault or he's just listening to his head coaches telling what they want and then he finds it for them. I've always said he's just a really good bean counter and that we need a real GM. I don't think we can look at Jeff Ireland in that role either, as he failed his last time around too.

Re: Head Coach Material
 

And exactly who is going to do that? The dynamics at the top of the Saints is different than most other organizations. Gayle looks upon Mickey as a son. That has been shared literally on many occasions. Just as with Payton, Loomis is going to stay as long as he wishes as long as Gayle is living and that's likely to be for many more years. As badly as some fans wish to jerk the knee and clear house it's simply not the way the Saints organization from the top down operates. Best approach or not. Just saying.

We keep losing she might look at him as the saying goes" a red-headed stepchild. Just sayin'.

Perhaps over multiple years. She's not the most wealthy woman in Louisiana by being overly reactive.

Re: Head Coach Material
 

If she lost in her buisnesses like the Saints are, she might react differently, bet she would be firing somebody then.
