Saints 2016 Coaching Staff

Specifically on defense, our non blitzing/passive schemes we ran with Spaggs & Rob aren't working. We need to blitz a LOT, even if we get burned a time or two.

I'm all in on the youth movement with players and coaches as well. We need new faces, fresh ideas to compete in 2016.

The good thing is DA does blitz a lot, which he adopted from GW.

DA scheme-wise is very similar to GW. Personality and assertiveness is different as DA seems more technical while GW was more aggressive.

I think DA will perform very well given the chance and given more talent in the front 7.

I don't have any specific changes to predict but I don't think they will be swift or "instant gratification" type moves made today or tomorrow like some people here seem to want....I think Payton is quietly telling certain people to sharpen up their resumes and look for other employment, so they peel off from the ship gradually, as opposed to BOOM -- dropping the hammer on half the staff, all at once, creating turmoil like some people seem to want. A lot of good assistant coaches and coordinators around the league are still active and playing games yesterday, next weekend, and onwards until middle of February...still plenty of time to watch and get ideas, then make some phone calls in the next month or so...

The guy I'd hire to start taking this rebuilding defense in the right direction is Clemson DC Brent Venables...

Bama is so ****ing deep, it was inevitable that they'd find cracks in the Clemson personnel; but Clemson's front seven has been one nasty force since he arrived in 2012...

He's the defensive mind that could match Payton and really get things turned around...

Let Vitt leave, promote Allen to Assistant HC to be Payton's enforcer, coaching instructor and let this guy come in and take hold of the defense - now that'd be exciting...

+1. I think it's a matter of time before this guy gets promoted to the next level.

Wait.. what? Didn't Bama lay a 40+burger on him last night?

Clemson had over 500 yards of total offense (Deshaun Watson is an incredible QB). Does that mean Bama's defense is bad? Brent is a very good defensive mind & has built something special there.

Just ask Stephone Anthony

It means their defense could've been a hell of a lot better. If we're talking about giving up 50 yard plays all night long on the Clemson side or pretty much complete failure to contain the quarterback on the Alabama side, then we should just as well have kept Rob or Gregg. They were both pretty good at both of those. They also could keep another team scoreless for a quarter.

Clemson had more luck, some good players and a reasonable schedule than a "special" defensive scheme this year. Bama's defense had a better showing this year, but they did show a lack of being able to adjust at halftime last night. The sign of a good pro coach is a different, better team coming out after half time.

Our defense, our team deserves more than a project DC coming out of a college just like they deserve more than a project in the first three rounds of the draft.

Some of that was special teams and much of Bama's yardage came on big gash plays...

Look even the No.1 team in the nation, at least until last night, doesn't have NFL-caliber players at every position...

But Bama had to work their arse's off for every yard; this was a fantastic battle of two very evenly matched teams...

K Major · 01-12-2016, 07:24 AM

And Kevin Dodd was impressive last night.

I'll admit, I over looked Clemson's defense. Well coached and talented players along the front 7.
