No I want to keep Jeff Ireland and the scouts. I want to get rid of the debt fanatics, Loomis and Harley. I am not impressed with their work to make sure Peat, Winston, Hill, Kamara, and Thomas retire as Saints. I believe that Loomis got lucky the year he brought in Payton and Brees and has not done much since. As he said in a recent interview 10 teams were hiring coaches that year and we were the #10 destination. So he probably had to pass on his top choices, and ended up with Payton, which might have been Benson's call anyway. Then Payton liked Brees, and Miami doctors would not clear Brees, so we got Brees. Everything we did with Brees and Payton, winning one Superbowl in 15 years, was not that impressive. Loomis's bad tendencies have gotten worse and Harley is his lacky. Nothing about the math they do to get under the salary cap is complicated, they just reduce all the base salaries to 1 million, convert the rest to bonuses, add void year, pay out the money over 5+ years. Its simple. But it has bad consequences where we miss out on comp picks and franchise tag options on any player past their rookie contracts, and when we need to move on from an aging brittle player we can't because the cap hit is too big. We basically brought university tenure to NFL football with Andrus Peat.
