Isn't our LB coach, Rob Ryan himself? At least that's what he's known for, his ability to work with the LB's...

Linebacker coach is....drum roll...Joe Vitt!

Imagine that.

We tried to sign the 49ers LB coach a couple years back, but harbaugh stopped the talks being allowed

Vitt is clueless, just like McMahon

Wasn't that when we were looking for the new coordinator? We also tried to get the Georgia coordinator...

Yeah that's right, but good positional coaches becoming D coordinators still manage to make those positions better because they have all the experience to know what will work

SP and RR continually harp on how good vitt is and he's not once developed a linebacker for us

We've resorted to bringing in LB's in free agency because he can't do his job right.

WAIT WAIT WAIT... they developed Scott Shanle into the most feared player on the team (feared by Saints fans), and they were smart enough to let Fujita walk... these guys are geniuses.

I would attribute a lot of our failures to incompetent linebackers/ and bad special teams. I mean how often has a linebacker other than Lofton done anything for us. Lofton's not even spectacular, he's just really solid and has a knack for sniffing out and blowing up runs. Just imagine if he was great in space like Bobby Wagner or Kuechly.

Special teams has been trash for almost 3-4 years now. Mcmahon has to go.
Vitt, well if we even drafted linebackers and had this problem i'd say get rid of him, but still there's players like Hawthorne who was awesome in Seattle.

Barry from MS · 10-07-2014, 11:15 AM

Joe Vitt...shaping the hearts & minds of linebackers drafted by the Saints since 2006. Keep up the good work.

I wish they would let Joe Vitt go.

If things don't improve (WINNING) down in the Big Easy, I think a lot of coaches will be packing up the U Haul next season & looking for work elsewhere.
