So... who you got as next Saints HC ?

This won't be a easy fix.

1 - need to start hitting home runs in the draft
2 - get that cap in order
3 - over paying OLDER players needs to stop
4 - cutting AK saves roughly 17M. Ramz 6M, Cam J 3M etc.
5 - continue to rebuild in those trenches on BOTH sides.

Just about everyone needs to be a candidate for a possible trade.

That's a tall task for any new Head coach to over come. I'd start looking at someone from Dan Campbell's coaching (Johnson, Glenn).

Saints need a real plan, not a quick fix.

Quit drafting these fringe school project players and get more proven SEC players!

The one that haunts me is the 2nd round Foskey pick. Could've had safety Brian Branch. I was watching the DET@MIN game yesterday and he's outstanding. Reminds me a little of our Sammy Knight from back in the day.

Facts.

The most “pro ready” conference in college football.

Remember how crushed Brian was when he didn’t get the 1st round call in that draft? Instead of pouting & heading back home, all he did was come back on Day 2, wait for his name to be called, shake hands & tell the world he is grateful for the opportunity.

Says a LOT about his character. And you’re right, he’s a baller for Detroit.
