Why are the Saints different

Before I get to the point, I would like to say that I applaud everyone in this forum for being able to argue in a civil way...that's what makes this forum special, IMO. Rarely is there any name-calling. I would also like to say that everybody makes valid points, and I don't think there is anyone who is totally right or totally wrong.

My question is this. Why is Hazlett still our coach. Why is AB still our QB. (Not bashing AB, it just so happens that he has been our QB for the last four years.) Why are McCarthy and Venturi still our O and D coordinators. I have been watching professional football for the last forty years or so, and I have never seen a team stay pat for this long without some amount of success. Personally, I think it has a lot to do with our owner, and what is REALLY near and dear to his heart. As long as the money keeps rolling in, why rock the boat. Winning would be just an extra little caviat, as far as he is concerned...and his definiton of a successful franchise is much different than ours, as fans. Can anybody refresh my memory. Has there ever been a team other than us that has stayed pat this long without anything to show for it?
