Saints front office is WEAK. PERIOD.

Hmm I still think we need a new head coach

Tell the front office. Or, we can hope to remain “competitive” in the most pathetic division in the league, while $ucking @ss less than a few other teams, and be happy.

What's the hold up on the new OC? ....

They've interviewed a lot of guys. Just make a decision.

Senior Bowl is THIS WEEKEND. Saints need all eyes, coaches, trainers & scouts on tap.

Does it mean they're targeting one of the coaches still remaining in the playoffs?

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.

There's also some thought by some that Saints whiffed on not retaining Dan Campbell in some capacity, and then elevating him to HC. Would you consider Dan Campbell's decisions in the NFCCG on foregoing the FGs similar to DAs decisions here on more than one occasion? Just how different do you guesstimate our fortunes here would have fared under Dan Campbell? It's the very same cap management team at the end of the day. Detroit took in our oft injured golden haired LB and made him a starter.

Dan Campbell has been catching hell all morning for his decision making. He looked more like Chargers' recently fired coach Brandon Staley with some of the in game moves than any sort of revolutionary head coach.

Let's not forget that part way through last season Campbell had a record of 4-19-1 as the Lions' Head Coach and Detroit fans were calling for him to be fired immediately. Let's just wait this out and see if he can bounce back.
