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

I think he’s playing chess. There could potentially be 3 big time jobs up for grab next season as well as the Saints. Cowboys, Eagles, and Bills could open up. He’s suppose to be a very loyal guy as well so he can afford to wait. That big payday is coming.

Another one out of the mix.

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

Oh man, I think it's going to be Getsy. He has nothing to lose coming here. Slowik will probably be a hot commodity next off season and Johnson can just wait and get promoted to OC there.

I have no idea how to judge Getsy. Were their deficincies on offense a Justin Fields problem or Getsy issue? They did do a good job at getting DJ Moore the football which bodes well for Olave. He gets their TE involved in the offense and likes to use the RB in the passing game as well.

Speaking of Getsy.

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

Getsy's a mixed bag. Like that he spent time with LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers in that dynamic offense. And Fields is quite erratic so I don't know how much of Fields' shortcomings I blame on Getsy. Still, hiring a guy that just got fired at the position is a gut check.

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

Quite often a firing like that has more to do with philosophical differences as opposed to performance based evaluation. Who knows for sure.

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

IDK, kinda looks like the Saints front office is all over the place in their OC search.

Didn't even realize this is interview #2 for Luke G :rolleyes: .

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

Aren't Rez and Halo available? :beer:

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

Slowik is staying with the Texans. Looks like the OC pool is shrinking and our Front Office is still just testing the water.

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

Can't blame guys like Slowik, Jerrod J and Ben staying put in 2024 for their respective teams.

Just expect a 2nd tier OC signing in NO.

Probably still an improvement over Pete “The Coffee Man” Carmichael. Lol

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

It will be interesting to see how Pete and Sean do together Denver.

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

I really think the only thing Slowik was considering was a HC gig if he was to leave. I just heard the Texans gave him a nice new contract to stick around.

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.

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

Who on the 49ers are we interested in?

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

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.

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

I think the quote below may be the direction the Saints take if they do indeed hire Gruden. Similar to the Ireland position for the organization:

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 :sad:

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.

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

I've heard recently that one of the perceived strikes against Vrabel is the same as that of Bill O'Brien. They both try to be another Belichick. Vrabel drew no real interest from anyone after he was released by the Titans. There's a few articles out there on it.
