There are some good, young offensive minds out there. Go find one.

The "continuity" angle is played. Saints are sitting at home for a reason.

It's way past time for fresh innovative young minds to be brought onto Airline Dr.

He way better than what we've put up with the last few years, including Brees' final season. The only thing that kept Brees somewhat relevant was Payton's play design and play calling. We all know Brees' arm was gone and his savvy was the only thing keeping him above water.

I actually Agree with that we just have the wrong coaching staff

Gruden was an advisor in training camp 2023. It didn't help.
I'm skeptical.

Wouldn't a new OC want to bring in his own staff and not be handcuffed to a previous hire?

Depends on what the present staff looks like, and who is available. I can see brining in a QB coach that knows your system a very strong consideration.

You watch them upgrade Ronald Curry to OC

He knows the system, keep the gang together etc

Perhaps the Saints need a checklist.
Step 1. Fire Carmichael
Step 2: Make Gruden OC
