A new OC that led his team to scoring less points that the Saints last year
Just look at the replies from Seahawks fans, at least the Saints can save on airfare, most of the Seahawks fans would drive him to New Orleans

The process of finding a new OC has really just gotten started. After the playoffs are over and more coaches are available things are going to heat up real fast. After the lazy search for a HC two years ago and lazy OC searches for the last two years they need to do their due diligence to find the right man for the job.

But I'm pretty sure that Jon Gruden is already looking at houses in Metairie close to the facilities.

I've heard he's looking at the Garden District.

I'm liking the idea of an experienced play caller to run the offense.

Take all pressure off DA and let him focus more on the Defense.

What are the Saints looking for in their next offensive coordinator? - YouTube

Rugby Saint II · 01-20-2024, 02:46 PM

Just give me someone who is an Alpha male and can be the HC on offense. We need someone to establish accountability. It was obviously missing under Pete Carmichael the last couple of years. I'm not sure which one of the candidates is the best man for the job since I don't watch other teams play anymore. But I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about their coaches and free agents because I want to be informed about my team and the direction we may take!

I do know that there are several qualified candidates still coaching playoff games that we probably have our eye on. Like Mickey said, this takes time, so let's take the time and get it right.

Maybe its just as well if we hire a horrible disaster OC. Even if the offense were better we are not winning it all with DA as head coach, peak Derek Carr, our lousy oline, and rapidly aging stars like Kamara, Jordan, Davis, and Lattimore who will all mostly likely be worse next year. All a great OC may do is get us to keep overpaying Carr for his mediocre talent and possibly buy DA another year if we somehow win the garbage NFC South and lose in the first round of the playoffs. If the new OC would be our new HC down the road we would want the best, but if the new OC is more like Mike McCarthy keeping Jim Haslett afloat, make its better if we find the equivalent of McCarthy's successor as Saints OC. What's Mike Sheppard doing these days? Any chance of bringing in Jared Stidham as our backup QB?

As of today, there are 12 OC openings & 2 pending Head Coaching hires. Time to get off your hands and make a hire as this needs to be addressed immediately.

Senior bowl is next weekend (Feb 3).

"Get er done".
