This move alone fills me with hope. It gives every player on defense a free pass and breath of fresh air after the many years of stupidity we all suffered through.

I don't get all the love for Allen. DB coach when we won the SB then left for a DC job in Denver and didn't do to well there, then was a HC at Oakland and got run out there. He was co-DC with Rob and ended up as DC here last season, now he has a co-DC to share with this season. Very unproven, more hype in my opionion. Guess we'll see. Getting us in the 25 range want get it.

He did fine in Denver with what he had. Its what got him the head coach job in Oakland.

He was too young to make those jumps so suddenly, but he made those jumps for a reason. He's HC material and everyone knows it. He was just thrown into it a bit too soon.

He's probably exactly where he needs to be right now. A DC for a few more years then maybe a HC.

I think he will be the guy who takes over for Sean when Sean retires.

Lets just see how he does as the Saints DC before he's the Saints HC. Maybe he proves me wrong, but maybe he proves me right. We'll see!!

I wouldn't say "didn't do to well there." Because of that defense Denver went to the playoffs and because of that defense they won a playoff game. That was the season they had Tebow at QB. So Dennis Allen isn't as bad as your making him out to be. He might not be Buddy Ryan but he's not Rob Ryan either.

After Ryan, everybody's gonna love this guy! At least until the season starts.

could care less what he did as the hc of a team. there are many guys that are good d coords and not good head coaches. Also, I think he did really well in denver considering the frigan offense they have. they wont a playoff game with teabag, are you kidding me?
