Good point. I haven't kept up with the rumors, but if they had asked permission to talk to someone word would have gotten out.

I think several teams are waiting for the games to play out when all coaching prospects are available.

As for the Senior Bowl that was mentioned, I can't imagine there's any team out there that has anything new to learn from the players in that game. No doubt all 32 teams will be in attendance, but from what I've heard it's as much for networking as it is for scouting. There should be a good deal of casual interviewing taking place in Mobile.

Possibly. I would prefer ANYONE from the Kyle Shanahan (Klint Kubiak) or McVay (Zac R - recently hired in Atlanta) coaching tree.

IIRC Underhill stated that he expects a hire to be made (this week) during senior bowl week.

At this point, I'd be ok with Jerrod Johnson, however I see he is scheduled to interview with the Bucs soon. His work with CJ Stroud in 2023 was rather impressive. Carr needs all of the help he can get. Even at age 32

Take Geno Smith (33) for example. He improved quit a bit last season with Shane Waldron (McVay tree) as his OC.

Agreed Sin.

24-46 speaks for itself.

Just keep chopping wood though.

Hey I like chopping wood! But I get tired after a few minutes. Apparently they don’t.

Campbell is catching too much flak. If Reynolds doesn't drop those two passes or Aiyuk doesn't have his miracle catch the Lions had it locked up. It was just one of those snake-bitten games that teams like Lions, Vikings and us Saints are known for. The Ravens game had more regrettable coaching easily.

Too many critical drops by the WRs for sure & Williams also muffed a td.

Detroit had the Niners by the throat all first half. That 3rd quarter was brutal though.

But yeah, missed opportunities. Mr. Irrelevant and CMac came up BIG when they had to be.

Maybe the new OC can put up points to go with our top ten defense. We've got most of the pieces to get into the playoffs.

Top 10? Saints defense? I missed that one Rugs.

Saints gave up a ton on the ground in 2023 & probably ranked bottom half in pressures/sacks.
