Look, I'd love to have one of the young wunderkinds come in and revolutionize this franchise. But I wonder if we have the right GM to make it all happen.

It just feels like they'll want someone more proven, with HC experience and the vision for leading an entire team, not just the offense or the defense.

If we "end up" with McCarthy we'll all be happy because the Saints will be in the playoffs again inside 2 years.

Did not Dennis Allen out coach McCarthy and the Saints defeated the Cowboys 44 -19..... Not Saying too much for McCarthy! :beatnik:

We’re the only job left besides the Cowboys. Seems like we’ll be able to choose whoever we want. I like what I see out of Washington’s offense, so Kingsbury is probably my #1 right now. I’d be fine with Joe Brady too just because.

Sure, but is it really saying anything? I wouldn’t put too much into.

Maybe the reason that the Saints were so great at the start of the season is that a team made up of old savvy veterans, highly injury prone players, players who play recklessly and take risks, and a roster built on the philosophy of trading up in the draft and signing the #1 free agent at the expense of depth, that all that is a roster built to start fast and fade quick. Our roster philosophy was screw depth, screw youth, ignore college injuries, win the week one paper lineup war at all costs, and switch to a more physical offense to really light it up.

In the end, McCarthy had a down year, but Dennis Allen has never had an up year. But damned if Mickey Loomis didn't build Dennis Allen the perfect roster to have an up half month. If the Saints hadn't faced a conference championship caliber team that excels in the trenches week 3, maybe they could have had a good month. But with no depth, and so many old and fragile players, it was never built to last.

LOL... DA then went on to lose 7 straight. Nice try.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors

With Jerry Jones doing Jerry Jones things, it's now down to Mickey to consult his liquor cabinet and Hill Street Blues reruns to determine our next coach.
