Communication with individuals on the field should not be a learn as you go type of thing. So many mistakes in this game by our players (penalty wise) yet the head coach says nothing to the players responsible. Do I expect a learning curve, yes, but I expect him to act like he was on the field. In the skins game he could have been in the box and you wouldn't have noticed.

I do hope he steps up, we need him to. However, I have been a Saints fan for too long to see us rise to greatness only to go back to accepting mediocrity. That goes for players and coaches alike.
