Saints fire 3 assistant coaches

Great. All three of those positions are annually the most disappointing and underachieving since 2009-2010, esp. since Curtis Johnson left. Makes sense.

good keep them coming

I'll be elated once Vitt, McMahon, Johnson and talent scouts are shown the door. There are plenty of young, vibrant DE coaches/assistants out there wanting to make a difference (specifically on defense) in N O.

Personnel decision making needs a hard look as well...

Still don't get why Joe Vitt Sr, Greg McMahon, Bret Ingalls, Bill Johnson, Frank Smith, Bryan Young have responsibilities with the team now...

DLine and the LB's do need better coaching as well as talent. Vitt ain't gonna be fired though. Perhaps moved but he wont be fired.

Nothing against any of these men personally, but their areas are not getting it done and have regressed.

I think anyone associated with ST needs to go. Our ST have been horrible for years now.

Anybody know how Drew's coaching is setup? Is he coachable (meaning open to critiquing his decision making)? Whoever this is needs to be replaced.

Part of the problem has probably been that he had a new QB coach this past year. Joe Lombardi was his coach but he left to be the OC of the Lions. I don't know off the top of my head who the new QB coach is but maybe the change took some getting used to.

I don't think blowing the whole thing up is going to work either. I think Vitt is solid and like JV said, he does a lot more for the team than coach LBs. Just like the defense, keep what can grow, cut the rest.
