Question for the Forum

Does any think that, when the Saints were in the midst of their 0-4 start, that SP considered, even slightly, trying to contact the Saints and offer advice?

I thought that at some point, especially when the Saints were on the winning streak, that he might put something on a flash drive and get it to the Saints.

There is no telling what Kommisar Goodell would have done if this did happen and he found out about it!!

He could communicate with Benson, so I would say he did pass along some ideas... But who knows

I think he just had to suffer through like the rest of us. I doubt he wanted to risk his reinstatement/wanted a chance to get the 2nd round pick back...after all, he did have an entire year to pick apart everything from the season.

Thinking and acting on those thoughts are two different things. He probably had several fool proof methods, but he likely didn't, or didn't very often.

I think he watch the first 4 games and then said **** this season and went to Cancun.

SP bought a ton of disposable cell phones.

I highly doubt you can send a text or any information thru Benson that would have benefitted the team.
I honestly think he had no communication with them.

of course he thought of it. i would be mad if he did not. that would mean he is not the right hc for the team. we all know that is false

I do believe he wanted to and thought of several different ways, but in the end Sean did the right thing and just kept taking notes.

sure he enjoyed his time off with his son, even though he didnt enjoy the circumstances, not sure he would risk it all
