Flip Flopping On DA Again

Now this is something that Dennis Allen was, and still is, directly playcalling ...

He surely has to prove himself this year. But as far as the petitions and whatnot I’ve been steady in saying I’ve not been convinced he’s terrible.

Edit…Isn’t winning the division but losing first round still headed in the right direction compared to the last 2 years ?

I am open, but cautiously optimistic and pragmatic too. As stated before, this feels like DA's first year sans the weight and shadow of SP lurking around. Many were ready to fire him last year. Here's the petition in case you're still interested.

If LD Bell can't legitimately compete (he has weapons) THIS SEASON in a soft NFC South, he doesn't need to be HC. The same goes for Pete C as OC.

Let's not kid ourselves, DA win/loss record as HC (.283) is what it is.

He still has the worst winning percentage of any NFC South HC ... including Falcons Arthur Smith

.

"Git er done".

I certainly think we need to give him some time.

DA I think knows the weaknesses of the roster and has really tried to address them. I often felt Payton had such an ego that he filled the roster with UDFA's because Brees would pick up all the slack.

Sean Payton had a great first year, followed by 2 years that could have easily got him fired, before winning the Super Bowl.

Not saying that DA is THE guy, but if this team can win the division and make the playoffs, then that to me is a step in the right direction.

Coaches don't coach during the offseason. He's still on the hot seat, and rightly so. Of course I hope we win and he proves to be a capable coach, but he'll need to demonstrate major growth as a leader in year 2. So I say sign the petition but file it away for now.
