this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; If they don't make a decision this week then I believe that they must have a bad crush on one of the Super bowl coaches. If not, I guess it will be Chuckie calling plays next year....

Klint Kubiak, passing game coordinator, for one, Danno. Brian Griese, QB coach, as the other. Both were early interviews for the Saints OC position.
I wouldn't be disappointed with either. And neither really has a path for advancement with the 49er's as Kyle Shanahan is OC in addition to being HC and is also the offensive playcaller. |

On a side note, I just saw that LB Coach Michael Hodges interviewed for D-Coordinator for the Patriots.

Re: Nick Underhill expects the Saints to hire a new offensive coordinator in 2024
With the Washington position filled by Quinn and all teams now having head coaches ...
It makes me wonder if the OC/Playcaller is actually a bit more important than the head coach himself when the HC is a defensive coach/troop leader. Thinking Houston and Detroit specifically, and in particular if Bienemy stays with Commanders. I'm starting to believe it - OC > HC! That's why this OC hire is paramount for the Saints. Defensive talent is awesome in the NFL. Generally speaking, I think it's harder to screw up the defensive playcalling. That said, an adept DC is still valuable. Offensive playcalling on the other hand - it's a huge variance between being behind the times and stale vs those innovating at the McVay/Reid/Ben Johnson level. I'm fairly convinced the OC/playcaller is the bigger difference-maker of the two now. And also ... we probably could've had Vrabel if we had just decided to bid adios to DA |

Re: Nick Underhill expects the Saints to hire a new offensive coordinator in 2024
Me thinks the Saints NEXT OC is still participating in post season.
Klint Kubiak. Again, if you want to compete with the big boys of the NFL, get a YOUNG innovator from the Kyle Shanahan or McVay coaching tree. But what the hell do I know 🤡 ? I flew jets @ Mach 2 designed by McDonnell Douglass back in the late 90’s. |
