Why did Steve Spagnuolo really choose the Saints?

WhoDat!656 · 02-13-2012, 11:01 AM

"I don't know how to say it," he says. "It wasn't picking one team over the other. I was blessed to have a few opportunities. When it was all said and done, coming to New Orleans seemed like the right thing to do. I didn't make a ledger and compare head coaches and quarterbacks. I just felt like for my wife, Maria, and I, at this moment in time, New Orleans felt like the right thing to do."

"I'm telling you, I didn't compare people," he says. "I know there was a lot of speculation like that. The truth is I just felt like this was the right place. Don't make it like a slap in the face. New Orleans was just the right place at this particular time. That stuff can change in the future. All part of the journey."

He did his homework and knows what he can do for our D already.

For the same reason GW did.......he wants to win a Superbowl! We have the most prolific offense in the NFL and his job is that much easier with Drew and Payton.

Come on Spags, you know why you came to NOLA. This is your best chance to win a Superbowl. And a Superbowl win means Mo Money Mo Money! (Quoting Tony Dungy)

not too hard to figure out-- which team needed a DC, has best exposure, and best chance to win the SB?
