Any Chance we hire Curtis Johnson?

I think most people will agree our Receivers haven't been the same since Curtis Johnson left for Tulane, he made Devery Henderson one of the most reliable pass catchers after leading the league in drops years prior.

Just so happens Tulane have fired him, and we need to get back to the things that made us successful.

Just think what he could teach Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman.

Don't we have Henry Ellard right now?

Yeah we do, I'd just argue that between 2009-2011 our Receivers were among the most diverse and well rounded group in the league.

i will second that. We had players that all excelled in areas where others might lack. It was a very complementary group.

John Morton is the receivers coach:

John Morton joins the New Orleans Saints coaching staff in 2014 as the team’s wide receivers coach. Morton, a 12-year NFL coaching veteran, who also spent five years in the college ranks, spent the last four seasons in the same position with the San Francisco 49ers. He returns to New Orleans after spending the 2006 season as the club’s offensive assistant/passing game coach when they advanced to the NFC Championship Game.

Re: Any Chance we hire Curtis Johnson?

Look at all these no-namers that CJ developed:
Colston
Moore
Meachem
And as Dizzle pointed out, he turned Devery hands of stone Henderson into one of our most reliable deep threats. Bring him back!

I'd welcome him back with open arms, WRs haven't been the same since he left

Re: Any Chance we hire Curtis Johnson?

Well its hard for the receivers to get better when Colston is stunting their improvement. Colston's not gonna get any better than he is now bringing Johnson back. Snead hasn't even been targeted enough recently. The minute Cooks started getting open, Snead's been ignored.

I would expect Ireland is looking closely at this position in next years draft.

I am a huge proponent of Curtis Johnson. I would be thrilled if he were willing to come back.

Re: Any Chance we hire Curtis Johnson?

Sure wouldn't hurt. But we are going to have to draft or get some more talent. Colston was good but he needs to be replaced.
