Leadership
Let's face the facts...
- The Saints organization is in disarray right now, as would any NFL organization having to deal with the loss of a headcoach and GM for all and most of a season.
- If Carmichael was the "absolute" replacement for Sean Payton, the Saints would have announced it.
- If Carmichael steps up as head coach and is marginally successful, the Saints will lose him next season in the Coaching carousel of the NFL.
- Carmichael is the offensive coordinator and since he's never been a head coach, we all know it's going to be hard for him to fill both shoes.
- Any possible replacement must be willing to accept a possible temporary situation.
- That leaves retired coaches that could help manage the clock and team during games.
- Tuna is Sean Payton's mentor and friend, he's retired and knows SP's system because it's based off the system Tuna himself develop.
I'm pretty sure the Saints are in uncharted waters with the full season suspension, but honestly this is probably the best case scenario for the organization. It could possibly open the door for Tuna to take on a VP roll with the Saints if/when Sean Payton returns.
