I don’t see catch the ball or not fumble on that list.

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

Completely agree with all of that, but once the first whistle takes place it is for the most part dependent upon the players to execute. The exception is in the case of calling plays which Payton did on offense and Allen does on defense, unlike most head coaches.

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

Ditto, again. Damn, this is scary. I have been agreeing with you entirely too much recently.

Fine in theory, but once that player hits the field it's all on him. Nothing the head coach does or says can make him execute. Vince Lombardi had players miss tackles, fumble balls, and drop passes on occasion once the game started.

On what occasion will you admit that we have a Coaching problem? Surely you're not insinuating that over time, DA is going to be the next Vince Lombardi...

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

Once again, of course not. No doubt there's some coaching issues and I put most of that on Pete Carmichael. The defense has been quite good. But there are other issues in the way of having the expected success including injuries. But I don't see putting the Sunday loss entirely on the plate of the head coach without giving blame to the ones actually playing the game.

A Head Coach is responsible for managing teams, monitoring each player's performance, conditioning the team's skills by conducting training sessions, and encouraging the trainees to reach their full potential. Head coaches assess the team's coordination during training or a game, adjusting strategies and improving techniques as needed. A head coach evaluates the team's strengths and weaknesses while educating them on the proper sports ethic. A head coach must have strong leadership and organizational skills to develop plans and reach set goals.
