Comes with the territory when we don't have a term limit on our GM!

The more I think about decisions in the coaching staff the more they make sense. I was one who wanted Allen and everyone gone after the season, but now that I sit back and look at it and realize we are stuck with Carr for at least another year I guess it makes sense to keep everything the status quo and just make a few modifications. The last thing Carr needs is major change again because it’s seems like that has pretty much been his career in a nutshell. Bringing on Gruden brings a little more stability and leaves Carmichael in the building playing a role he is more accustomed to, game planning and hopefully not mid game play calling and adjustments. However, if this does not work this year then you clear house completely, Carmichael, DA, Carr and any other bad apples. I’m willing to settle for one more year and just grit may teeth, but this draft better be off the charts.

Beautiful song. I'm surprised nobody took advantage of this. I'm sure BostonSaint would have.

I won't be surprised if Carmichael comes back next year. Her got better as the season went on when he finally started doing thing that were obvious to the fans and media. Maybe he can come up with a good game plan for the first half too if he has Gruden telling him that he needs to shake things up.

It's not what I want to see. I want to see DA gone and Carmichael back with his buddy in Denver. But, alas.....

Chuckie as OC would make us one of the best teams in the league if we can keep things together.

“Keeping things together” is why this team is at home in mid January and not competing in the post season on Sunday.

I see proven coaches (Belichick, Carroll & Vrabel) being run out of town and the Saints leadership sitting around chilling

.

2024 will be ugly for Saints nation.

coaching...lmao;
as if the saints' football organization would SERIOUSLY consider changing their coaching staff; or even possibly, be willing, to think about .... coaching.... ha ha ha...

Something new to rag on; other than Michael Thomas, the prima donna... awesome.

lets go there for next year's main topic of conversation... less distraction on the players... ya know

Coaching... thats the ticket!!!!

What if the Saints are actually bringing in Jon Gruden to takeover as HC and demoting DA to DC? Or at the very least having Gruden in place to take over after next year, if things go south?

I would like this though it would never happen. I'd like to have Antonio Pierce as HC too. Shoot, other former players turned coaches like Vrabel, Pederson, and Reich would likely be solid additions to this team.
The order of HC candidates that I'd like to see in Black and Gold next year.
Gruden
Pierce
Pederson
Vrabel
Reich
