Expectations of new OC & digesting the playbook

The run game has been poor last couple of seasons. Former Saints RB (recently hired with the Giants) coach Joel Thomas was probably on his way out anyways.

Saints need to get better here.

I totally agree. We have been poor as **** at running the ball the last couple of years. We have a player like Kamara and don't utilise him in a good way on the ground.

Good thing the offensive line has nothing to do with the run game, that way we can change RB coach, fix everything, and keep our incredible oline coach Doug Marrone who has done such an excellent job developing Trevor Penning, taking only a few years to put Andrus Peat and James Hurst in their correct positions, and turning 1st round picks into stars like Ruiz and middle round picks into servicable players like the excellent contributions Saldiveri made this season while inactive.

But seriously we could have prime Adrian Peterson as our starting RB and SB coach Gary Kubiak as our RB coach and we couldn't run behind this oline.

It kind of makes you wonder why no one else is asking to interview Douggie Marrone. Or an even better question would be what the hell is he still doing in New Orleans? I guess they are going to let the new OC fire him.

I think you are actually right on base with this one. Whomever we finally settle on will undoubtedly have a tremendous amount of input upon who helps run his offense as far as coaching goes.
