Sources: Sean Payton approaches Bill Parcells about coaching Saints in 2012

Halo · 03-26-2012, 01:46 PM

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.

I am with you on all but this one. If The Saints are successful in 2012 with Carm as head coach it will be viewed as he was successful with Payton's blue print and team...

Another view point is that the Saits have arguably the most productive Offense in the league and have for a few seasons now.... No one has stolen him... They know that is Paytons baby.

My first thought is, "How old is Parcells? ... would it be like watching Joe Paterno on the sidelines?". I want to see a current Parcell interview, I want to see what kind of shape he's in, I want to see how clairvoyent this guy is.

But, I defer to the logic in Halo's post (#40), which made sense.

Tuna Helper, creole style, I love it!

Seriously, this is exactly what we might need for a year. Bring in an old steady hand to guide the team through an interim period.

Aren't Parcells and Benson friends too? Didn't Benson try to hire him once?

This should be a very attractive proposition for Bill. The team is already loaded and a Superbowl favorite.

All he has to do is keep it between the ditches and he'll likely get a Superbowl ring for his participation.

My favorite Tuna moment...

Speaking to his offensive coordinator in front of his running backs coach and his running backs...

"Why the hell are all of my running backs fat?"

LOL!!!
