Saints will add an additional special teams coach, report says
 

Special teams has been anything but special for the New Orleans Saints this season. It appears the Saints will attempt to aid the unit by adding a special teams coach to the existing staff, Fox's Jay Glazer reported Sunday morning.

The Saints already have two special teams coaches with Greg McMahon as the coordinator and Stan Kwan as the assistant coach. The report didn't include who will be joining the staff.

Sean Payton didn't want to single out anyone from the staff in his Friday press conference for the poor play in the loss to Carolina on Thursday. Instead, he pointed the finger at himself.

Follies have been plentiful for the Saints on special teams all season with issues in the kicking game and the return game.

The Saints have watched three field goals blocked with two turning into a Giants touchdown and a Broncos two-point conversion. The block in Carolina nearly became a TD, but was negated for a block in the back. The Panthers did score a TD on the next play, though.

The kick-return game ranks near the bottom of the NFL and there's been a revolving door in the kick and punt returner jobs.

I don't get this. I'm a big supporter of Payton, but this seems ridiculous. It almost screams that he is just taking care of buddies and not taking care of business.

I really wish he would just get rid of McMahon. Cmon Payton.

Just gives him a reason to keep McMahon around and look like he's doing something about the issues.

On the other hand, it may be a Ryan-Allen situation, in which someone is brought in to eventually take over.

Is he any good?

Not sure however he could be a cure for the mental breakdowns our guys have been having on kickoffs (see Murphy/Cadet/Hightower).

Un-fricking-believable. Let's just keep spending Mr. Benson's money, shall we? Dead money on players, now we have dead money spent on coaches on the staff who aren't doing anything....
