During Vitts suspension? I know a lot of people are speculating on Carmichal or McMahon, but a few things have been said by some of the staff that leads me to believe they may still be entertaining the thought of bringing someone in from the outside. I have a hunch this may be the case since I believe that each position coach is going to have his hands full with their own position. Spags is too new to our system and is a defensive minded coach.

It's already been decided on Aaron Kromer. The offensive line coach

Really? Where the hell was I? When was this announced? Damn now I do remember some speak of this. Do you think he is up to the task? I think this **** is just starting to sink in. What the hell are we going to do? Bad enough having Payton gone, but Vitt too. God the closer the season gets the more I hate this. Our first 6 games are probably the most crucial and we have to play them with a 3rd string ****ing coach. This pisses me off to no end. God I hope we can hold it together. We are definitely going to miss some leadership on this team. **** and Loomis is gone too, jesus christ Goodall raped us like a prom date. The least he could do is make it so the suspensions weren't concurrent. How in the hell are we supposed to win games like this? Goodall has screwed us to biblical proportions and gotten midlevel on our asses. WTF!

Joe Vitt: New Orleans Saints uncertain about interim coach for first six games - CBSSports.com


Aaron Kromer is an assumption.

FinSaint

Yeah. I hadn't heard/read any confirmation on the issue either - if they go in-house it's safe to say it's one of the trio of Spags, Carmichael or Kromer.

FinSaint

OMG!

We're bringing in Herm, because we play to win and we don't wanna piss off any more sports announcers.

Interim Head Coach the first 6 weeks - "Hey Drew, try and score 50. Hey defense, try to hold them under 50."

They said that it would be decided right at the end of preseason, based on evaluations and how they are feeling. Which is why everything you read about Kromer is not confirmed, but he is of course a really strong contender. I want to believe they may still look at bringing somebody in from the outside, but the more time goes by, it would be a very difficult situation for a coach to walk in to, to come in and coach after not having been there in camp and not knowing the players or the playbook or the scheme or anything else.

Remember, Dude, we have an extra preseason game more than everybody else, to work on all this. I think it's more likely they will try Kromer instead of Vitt in a preseason game, game 3 or 4, and just not tell anybody they are doing it, until after. Like the same way they didn't tell us that Carmichael was calling all the plays and was the voice in Drew's helmet, until after they started doing it that way.

As for the season, I look at it like this. If we end up being a bumpy 3-3 or 4-2 when Vitt and Loomis and whoever else come back, it is not going to be the end of the world. We can still right the ship and get hot in the playoffs. It's very important that people not freak out early in the year when things are going to be the toughest. If things aren't going well, I am NOT going to freak out until well into November. The Broncos/Falcons/49ers/Falcons/Giants segment of the schedule is where the real meat is.
