Sounds good to me, lets hope he has as much success as Curtis did with this team

He was a great player with the Rams

This is a great move!

I can remember his playing days with the Redskins.

i was thinking carl for a second. he was de or tackle. thanks luda for a memory comeback

Great player typically means lousy coach.

I'm much more concerned about his coaching success than his playing career.

I don't know anything about him, but he's Saint now and Payton and Loomis generally bring in good coaches.

He was also the receivers coach for the Greatest Show on Turf, where he worked alongside Joe Vitt. He then went to the Jets and coached their WRs to be the only highlight of their offense. I think he will be pretty good!

Sounds like a good track record as a coach, I remember him ripping the Saints apart when he was with the Rams aside Flipper Anderson

I think it was Flipper who did it....336 yards in '89.

I like that info a whole lot more than reminders of how great a WR he was.

Thanks Alex.

Sean Payton and Loomis don't hire Bogus Coaches so this is a Good Coach no matter what i think.

My best friend is a big Rams fan, he was even excited about this hire.

I like it !

Back in the day I was a huge Henry Ellard fan and he played for the enemy. Very happy to have this guy on the Saints side now. His insight and experience should bring a wonder addition to the Saints organization.
