Interestingly, Andre Curtis, who Spags also brought along with him from St. Louis, continues on the coaching staff as the assistant secondary coach. Regardless of how things went down, I do appreciate Spags signing with the Saints when he did, and all that he did this season under very trying conditions - I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. |

Re: Spags Released
Think this has anything to do with two 3-4 teams playing for the championship?

Re: Spags Released
I'm a little surprised, but I've been calling for it for a while now. I underestimated Sean's hutzpah this time. At times it was a little hard to admit being a Saints fan when the D was on the field.
I've heard Lovie's holding out for a head coaching gig, but I've also heard Marinelli who was Lovie's DC is still a free agent. Dallas is after him, but maybe Benson'd get him to think twice about becoming a Cowpie. |

Re: Spags Released
Exactly...for someone who picks defenses apart with his playcalling for a living...him sitting back watching it from a distance and seeing all the flaws in real time as supposed to being focused on calling plays and managing the game.
