Nick Underhill expects the Saints to hire a new offensive coordinator in 2024

NOLA54 · 01-27-2024, 06:49 PM

Well where is the new OC? Are they waiting for other teams to hire OCs first so we will have no choice except to hire from within?

They could be waiting for someone from one of the remaining teams in the playoffs. I'm glad they aren't trying to rush into anything. There are still a dozen or so teams that haven't filled their spots yet.

Falcons hire Zac Robinson as offensive coordinator

Solid hire by the Falcons. I fully expect them to take a top QB in this year's draft. Like I've stated before, the Falcons aren't going to suck forever.

Loomis better wake up.

The Falcon are pretty stupid so I would not rule out a scenario where they draft Brock Bowers and bring in Justin Fields to pair his winning percentage with Raheem Morris’.

Jerrod Johnson had his 2nd interview with the Saints so …

Did some great things with CJ in 2023.

Helps his case that he’s an TAM Aggie.

Most guys see the staff as a lame duck situation and don't want to take what will most likely be a one year gig. Plus, Allen isn't going to want a truly talented, up and coming guy for the position because it would ultimately challenge his authority. I expect a fully underwhelming hire at the position.

I'm sure a lot of good OC prospects are waiting for the premier spot to open up ... the job in Detroit under Campbell once Ben Johnson takes a HC job, presuming the Lions have no one in house they'll promote. Then the dominos will start to fall.

Seems like Morris and Robinson were a package deal, so in that light the Morris hire by the Falcons isn't too bad.

Go ahead and hire Jerrod Johnson and let’s start implementing this new offense.

Coincidentally, here's Triplett and Underhill discussing exactly why that very way of thinking makes no sense.

I really think most of the waiting is for the playoffs to be over. Especially this week's games. In other words, it's not the candidates that are dragging their feet, it's the teams in need waiting for all of the options to become available for in person interviews.
