You have to give the title if you want to protect them. Thats why we lost both DC’s from last year, we wouldnt give either the title.

I can't even remember when (if ever) the last time a OC was fired in season. The only guy I can recall stinking it up so badly was Bill O'Brien however he was a Head Coach.

Pete Carmichael should have never been retained after last season.

We gave the keys back to a guy driving a Bugatti with a revoked license.

Here is a good overview of coordinators fired in season. The Ravens fired OC Cam Cameron in season in 2012 and went on to win the Super Bowl. So it can work, but often doesnt.

Evn if 2/3rds it wont help, I think firing PC is worth a shot because we have to try something. If we keep playing like this and losing games to weak teams DA must go after this season. I dont care if he can bring in Andy Reid as his OC next year, I am done with DA as coach if he has a 5th losing season in a row as HC. I cant wait until after 2025 season to see if DA is the problem so thats why I prefer a new PC now. If DA wants to stick with PC fine, but if it doesnt work this year they both need to go.

Someone else needs to call the plays for the offense. With all of our weapons this is crazy

I agree with something saintsfan1967 pointed out earlier and that is that if things don't improve offensively very soon I'd like to see RB coach Ronald Curry be given a chance calling plays. He did it for a couple of the preseason games and I thought he did a good job.

However, the lack of motion and other such creativity in the play design is an issue, as much as is the play calling and that is on Carmichael as OC. If all you have available is vanilla that's the only flavor you are going to have to call come game time.

Good insight from Kamara in this interview.

He pretty much calls out the play calling more than once in this interview.

Edit: To be honest, this is a great interview. Kamara tells it like it is.

He also mentions the frustrations with people "talking ****" about Olave quitting or giving up.

Problem is, it’s not up to AK to change anything, it’s a COACHING ISSUE, AND WE NEED A NEW COACH.

Last year when AK addressed the team he motivated them to a win. So, I'm not so sure that it's not up to AK at this point. Somebody has to step up and I don't expect DA to suddenly give the team actual leadership now. It's not in his DNA.

Therein lies the problem I believe. When Payton left we were left without an Alpha to lead the team. DA lacks the leadership qualities to be a head coach. Although, he's one heck of a DC and when he goes there goes our top five dynamic defensive scheme.
