Dennis Allens record speaks for itself.

Always manages to make others the scapegoat somehow.

I remember being impressed with his speech when he was hired, should have known then that that's all he is. A good talker, and an awful head coach.

“When you are dependent upon a staff as deep as in the NFL that staff absolutely has responsibility. In the case of the Saints the top guy gave them their chance to fail. Now it's time to give a new batch the chance to succeed.“

THIS ^^^ is what happens when you mix LSD with your Xanax.

There is not a lot about this out there and it seems the last bit came out in 2021. Gayle’s succession names Dennis Lauscha as executor with Loomis and Bensel as alternates should Lauscha not be around.

If I ventured off into conspiracy theory land, Loomis has enough good standing with both the city and league to garner the favor and financial backing to make a run for the team. His net worth is +/- 80MM with 23 years with the Saints and 16 years with the Seahawks (nearly 40 years as an executive in the NFL). A lower valuation for the franchise works in his favor since his net assets are not what most team owners is.

I had a candidate to replace Pete Carmichael but unfortunately he passed away. His skills include getting people coffee (Pete's job under Payton), being physically meek enough to not intimidate or threaten Dennis Allen, and being at least 60 years old to fit in with Allen and Loomis.

Don't you remember when he was OC here before? Every play was sooo predictable. I don't know how he managed to win a SB in GB.

ELITE QB under center.

Solid team but best of the best under center helps.

Per Underhill...
The Saints are interviewing Bengals QB coach Dan Pitcher for the offensive coordinator job, per source

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

They should always feel on edge and fearful of losing their spot on the team. Fear is a great motivator. Making an NFL roster is not a God given right, but in fact must be earned, not expected. Maybe that's a reason younger players play harder or less lackadaisical. We need to get much younger anyways... well maybe not that much younger. You know what I mean. :bng:

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

Thanks for many great years Pete.

A long tenure will have peaks and valleys. I hate that your serviced ended on at a low point especially knowing how close the team came to multiple Championship opportunities but unfortunately, it's time...

Good luck to you in the future.

Passing the buck.

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

When you get to Denver tell Payton I said thanks for the good times before he left.

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

Anyone know why Doug Marrone kept his job with that awful offensive line and Burns loses his job while having a roster of late round/UDFA picks

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

Nepotism?

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

You know this statement is as worrisome as it is accurate? Sh1t rolls down hill and Gayle doesn’t give a sh1t, leaving no one to keep Loomis and the rest honest until there is new ownership. If the next owner is not Mickey Loomis it will be a blood bath in that front office because the next owner will have to clean house.

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

Apparently Burns went around saying absolutely unacceptable things to his superiors after hours like "alright I think you've had enough, we've got a big day tomorrow, let me drive you home."

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

That MFer smacking his gum yesterday had me wondering if he did a couple bumps before the press conference. I couldn't listen to anything he said.

Re: New Orleans Saints part ways with three assistant coaches
 

DA shook up the defensive coaches last year. This year it's the offense getting the makeover. Next year, if we're lucky, we get a new head coach. :wink:
