The whole sell out era was built on mass house cleaning firings. The sell outs started in 2006, and coming back from Katrina was part of the excitement, but moving on from Haslett and Brooks was the biggest part. You could not give away tickets in Baton Rouge to watch those jokers lose. For many in New Orleans, the waters did not recede until Haslett's office was boxed up and his insufferable excuses about just needing to execute a little better and how the ball didnt bounce our way and if you just didnt have such and such mistake or how we would commit slightly more to the run or open up the offense slightly more after he watched the tape were finally over for good. Had we trotted out Haslett and Brooks again in 2006, New Orleans would have found some other way to celebrate the resurgence of the city that did not involve the Saints. So if you think we will always sell out because we sold out for 15 years and fans will fear a wait list, I say that if there is one way to stop selling out season tickets, it is to return to the conditions we had before we sold out, to come full circle with another Jim Haslett and another Aaron Brooks. Some fans will hold onto tickets a couple more years with FOMO due to the long wait lists of the 2000-2010's, but in the long run the only surefire way to burn those fans loyalty is to undo the the thing that gained their loyalty in the first place, being willing to fire lousy coaches and overrated players.
