I have in the past, and will continue to undauntingly advocate the hiring of Jimmy Johnson..This guy has a KEEN EYE FOR TALENT..He has proven it by winning a National Championship with Miami...And Multiple Superbowls with his Team of the Ninties, Dallas Cowboys...He drafted Hall of Famers, One after another..Who is more qualified to take our draft picks and build a winning team?..He did it in College..And he did it in the Pro\'s...He assembled ,And coached, one of the most dominant teams ever

I know what\'s coming allready..\'\'What about Miami?\'\'..He did not have the option of benching an aging, and underproductive Marino..And his record suffered from it...here..He could bench anybody..I have faith in the Man..and I cannot see anybody more qualified to lead this team to GLORY!!!!!

I am digging Fassel at this point but I hear he wants and looks like he\'ll get the Miami job. You forgot two others:


Deion Sanders
Terry Bradshaw

Hehehhehehehehehhehehehehehe,
hehehehehhehehehehhehehehehe,
good one, that helped me wake up this morning.

I have to add Dan Reeves as a YES candidate. He did well in Denver and Atlanta and ok in NY. Last year, he got fired b/c Vick was injured and the team tanked. Now Jim Mora is getting credit for a team built by Reeves.

POtential coaches list
 

I like Dan Reeves -- I think he could instantly wake up our offense -- guarantee that the Saints would score more in the first half with him.

I would stay away from the college coaches (except Saban because he has extensive NFL experience)

I would add any one of the Patriots assistant coaches --

POtential coaches list
 

as of right now i would really like fassel. but wouldnt mind rfeeves. i for sure wouldnt be disappointed with one of the two from new england. steve spurrier already has a job for the writer of the post

POtential coaches list
 

oh and meyer is going to notre dame so we can start winning again. (wake up the echos cheering her name)!!!!!!!

POtential coaches list
 

fassel is a good guy... but he is WAY to nice of a coach, reall laid back and likes to be everyone buddy...

we need discipline, and very badly

POtential coaches list
 

For what it is worth I have also recently heard that Mike Shanahan might be on the outs in Denver and that Charlie Weiss has already said that he is very interested in the New Orleans job, hopefully he will bring Rohan Davey with him.

POtential coaches list
 

Shanahan would be HUGE..He is the G.M. and Head Coach in Denver..and He just has a knack for picking up great players..Namely Runningbacks

I would be happy with him..But I honestly don\'t see him getting fired...and coming here...I hope I\'m wrong..

POtential coaches list
 

i agree about fassel being a nice guy. i was hoping he may be different his second time around. as far as shanahan or weis. would like either

POtential coaches list
 

the only thing i do not like about shanahan is that his running game does not utilize mcallister type backs.... mcallister needs a fullback type running attack..... shan likes one back with pulling linemen. Our linemen are entirely too big to pull very well and it woukd take a while to get the personel in there for his style offense (lighter and quicker linemen) ...how can our guys pull correctly if they cant stop false starting...

POtential coaches list
 

You\'re totally right...I just hope we can get an all around type of guy in here...like a shanahan...johnson...even fossell...I just really hope we go get a proven winner..and not try to hard to get the next big thing...I just want this team to be competitve ..and be able to match up well within our division...Because to me..If we can ever get to where we can run the division..we can be playoff contenders for years...and that would be the best thing to me...as Im sure it would be for everyone...

POtential coaches list
 

i just really want to have fun watching them play again..... i really miss the good old days where they sucked ass, but did it with as much dignity as possible....

now we have a half hearted QB who does just enough not to get benched and a wideout whos jerks around like he is having a siezure after a first down (despite the fact we are losing... i do think he is a good player though)...i mean, everytime the defense comes out you are just wondering how the other team will score next....

i have not watched them much this year because i just cant... lets hope whoever is brought in will bring back that little glimmer of the possiblity that we might actually come close a victory!

POtential coaches list
 

This is a pretty depressing list.

Jimmy Johnson, Marv Levy, Dan Reeves??? I don\'t want to be the next team to drag some old goat out of the pasture and expect the moon from them.

Jim Fass-hole, Butch Davis, Steve Spurrier, Dave Wannstedt, Ron Zook, Ty Willingham??? Oh great, proven FAILURES! That\'s just what we need ... more disappointment.

Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Charlie Weiss??? Overrated, overrated, overrated...

Jeff Tedford, Scott Linehan??? I can\'t knock these guys, I have no idea who they are...

I fear we\'d be unable to get any of New England\'s assistants, but Crennel might be nice. He\'s a bit older than I\'d like for a new head coach, but I suppose he\'d be a start.

Gary Kubiak is an interesting idea, especially since we\'re stuck with Aaron Brooks for a few years, and Kubiak might be able to work with him. AB\'s just about getting old enough that the \"old dog, new tricks\" thing may apply, but I wouldn\'t object to seeing what Kubiak could get out of him.

I don\'t have any ideas of my own, I just like disagreeing with others on this one! :P I\'m afraid whoever we hire is gonna be another disaster, but I\'m willing to give just about anyone a chance at this point.

POtential coaches list
 

Shananhan would be a major asset. I would find it hard to believe that Denver would allow him to go though. Where did this come from? I question why Jimmy Johnson was placed on the \"NO\" colum though. I would love to see the guy take over. He single handedly turned Dallas around but eventually had to give in to the owner who has done nothing but break that team apart ever since. Shanahan or Johnson are my first two.

POtential coaches list
 

Romeo, Romeo...

Here endth the list.

POtential coaches list
 

I don\'t think shanahan will be fired or out of there until Denver collapses. Its not that he has a knack at picking great RB\'s its the fact that he has a knack for GREAT offensive lines. He would be great for us... let him mold this team into what he has done in Denver.

Reeves is old and a hasslet oops my bad, has been. Only thing talent wise in Atlanta was vick and he had to run him. Mora brings in a decent D and a decent game plan. That Atlanta team is going to be good, they are only scratching the surface now.

Fassel I kind of like here as well.

POtential coaches list
 

how about we bring back Jim Mora Sr.? just this time with no freakin Carl \"i have a S*^T offese\" Smith.....

at least the postgame interviews would be interesting...

\"playoffs??!?! you talking about PLAYOFFS?!?\"
ahahahahaha

POtential coaches list
 

Despite Whodats love affair with a defensive co-ordinator that has never been an NFL head coach.
........... seriously where does this crap come from.
and why do people keep repeating it, like somehow that is gonna make it more legitimate. I will guarantee with every last dime I own that if some highly successful \"underling\" comes to \'rescue\' the saints, he will be have his nuts in the wringer by season end. I know that you know this franchise way better than that Whodat.

Seriously, all boloney aside, do you really believe that this organization, with it\'s well documented history, will respond to an unproven head coach? Maybe for a season, sound familiar? but beyond that things will quickly unravel. Critics will say that Ditka was a steaming pile......

and so he was, I don\'t deny it. But he is not got anywhere near the savvy that Jimmy J does. It is almost like shooting fish in a barrel to attack this line of thinking, but mark my words, If Jimmy J comes back to coaching he will know what success feels like.
Crennel would be the perfect fit for many clubs, but not ours.

Maybe we should keep Haslett? can I get a 4 more years?

POtential coaches list
 

Good plan. LMAO

POtential coaches list
 

Jimmy Johnson isn\'t stupid enough to come to NO.

POtential coaches list
 

Retreds are hard to predict.

But I would agree with Scotty that someone with too much to lose in terms of reputation probably doesn\'t want to come here.

My only coaching criteria are.
1. Someone from TOTALLY outside the organization.
2. Someone who gets passed over a lot.
3. Someone with something to prove
4. Someone with a track record of success in the pro ranks
5. Someone who will see this as his one shot and WILL NOT tolerate failure.

So if you want to talk older coaches, the only one I can think of that fits the bill is Art Shell.

Last year I would have put Lovie Smith and Romeo Crennell in that category.

This year, I think that Childress from Philly is a good candidate. Romeo is a dream candidate for us, but he\'s going to get his pick of several places I would think.

My humble plan for Benson...
Hire a football guy GM and let him make ALL the decisions, pay him, show up at the dome Sunday, watch football, get drunk, eat some awesome grub and enjoy the golden years.

You will be more loved for such a minimal effort than you\'d ever imagine.

POtential coaches list
 

Why is no one bringing up Jim Johnson from Philly. This guy would solve our biggest need which is on the defensive side of the ball. He has proved that his system works with whatever players they plug in there. Just a thought.
