The front office don't see it (or care to) yet, but the only way to resolve real problems in NOLA is getting a new Head Coach. Getting a new coach won't guarantee success, but staying with the same below average HC will ensure mediocrity. |

By the way, this "aging roster" is only an average of 15 months older than the 6th youngest roster in the NFL. Were you aware of that? |

The one year gig, if DA is fired after a failed year 3 the entire coaching staff is likely to go with him. |

Replacing him now with a much younger player would most likely weaken our roster while lowering the average age.

Actually, come to think about it, it could very well be a one year gig when that incoming OC turns the offense around from day one. He'd suddenly be in big demand for a head coaching position. That in itself makes the job pretty darned attractive.
