I am not convinced that Pete Carmichael was the main problem at all. He was effective under Payton, but not under Allen. I think it was smart to make a change and I am guardedly optimistic for a degree of improvement but I am not sure it will solve all our problems. It could be that a lot of offensive coordinators are not effective under weak head coaches like Dennis Allen who fail to establish leadership and accountability from the start and weak general managers who put us in a position that we can't afford to cut dead weight without years of extensions to wind down their dead cap hits.

It's possible that Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis without Sean Payton could make Tom Brady look like Marsha Brady.

Klink Kubiak could not save Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense under a weak head coach in Nathaniel Hackett in Denver in 2022. We was effective under stronger head coaches in SF and Minnesota with better QBs. Now he has to work with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr. After 2023, any change is better than none, but it just wouldn't be that surprising to me if Carr and the Saints offense struggle in 2024 exactly how they did in 2023.
