Good thread. You all are forgetting something very important.
Who says SP will want to stay?
Things change after a while. Loomis being there does not really matter for SP. No worry in RB running the team because the the owner is , will be GB. That is a fact!!!
Perhaps SP will want to leave after 2015 season. New team. New city. New players. New challenges and new money. New wife ...perhaps SkylenneM. New kids.
After 2015 season , if the Saints are not better than 8-8 , I think SP may want out.
The Saints' division is really still weak. I do not see AF, TB doing spectacular for 2015. 2016? Maybe?
AF and TB would have to get some major draftees and good luck. They are in the same situation as the Saints. Rebuilding up.
It takes time.

I totally understand about SP being the best coach Saints have had over all. Nothing stays the same.
