If someone vetoes a decision about something like a restaurant choice, it's up to the person bringing the complaint to make another suggestion.

You already know the truth. The Saints are not going to work this out to your satisfaction. They have had 3 off ramps with Dennis Allen already and chose not to take any of them. If the Saints go 10-7, win the South, and win a home playoff game in 2024 before exiting without a real sniff of a championship, like the Succs did last season, then Allen won't be going anywhere. You can best believe in Loomis' mind that there's nothing to work out if that happens.

I keep telling you that if the Saints could work out what you are looking for, they would have done so. So, you are waiting for an event that will never happen.

So, that's why I ask you how you would work it out. Clearly you are more clued into the impediments that are keeping the organization from another championship. So, who would you like to see in place at the head of the organization who can actually fix this?

The Saints brass are just people. Football people with some experience. But just people like you and I. And with the interwebs we have a lot more access than fans in the past.

Let me throw out a name as an example: Michael Borgonzi - KC Chief Assistant GM. Clearly part of the organizational planning of a championship team. Also as director of Pro and College scouting has a plan for putting together a championship roster. How might he turn the ship around?

I’m not vetoing a restaurant choice. I am a disgruntled fan. That’s all.
And if you tell me to go find another team to root for, you don’t understand what being a true fan is.

Sure I do. But you've put yourself in an impossible position. The current Saints organization has drained all ability for you to see anything hopeful about the product. And there's nothing you can do about it. And likely nothing will be done to change the situation.

Even worse even if significant changes are eventually made, they make nothing close to guaranteeing that a championship will result.

But you promote championship caliber football as so important that it eclipses the organization. Many of us feel that true fans understand the current construction's limitations and hope for the best with the product on the field.

But alas you are stuck and we are stuck with you. But just like the 2024 Saints, I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation here. Talking about how to possibly fix it is a sight better than just complaining that it's broken and that it should be fixed.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

Well, we’re both (all) in an impossible position (except the millionaires that get paid to “entertain” us in this impossible position). You talking about how to fix it, while admitting that they won’t or can’t fix it… and me complaining about it, knowing that complaining will not fix it. But here we are. Gonna be a long season… possibly many more.

On the other hand, mapcow really doesn't seem to have anything positive to say about anything or anyone. Well, maybe his cow.....
sure i have hope for the team... but it will not be a good season for this bunch. my cow tips her udder to you.

I don’t think they are even trying. I think Gayle is ready to wash her hands and sell. They won’t even sell out a home game this year.

They have clearly found a way to keep money moving into the right pockets, while producing a bare minimum to continue to motivate people like Quido to make a ten hour round trip to shake pom poms at a mediocre product, and marvel at the stadium upgrades, while mopping up the restrooms.

According to Wiki, NFL Superdome seating is 73,208 (expandable to 76,468). According to ESPN: Average attendance in the Superdome = 70,020.
Good enough to for 12th in the entire league. My guess is that there were probably a few Sold Out games last season. No reason to believe that it won't happen this year as well. Just an educated guess, but it appears that ticket sales are NOT an issue.
