Five tasks the Saints need to do this offseason...

First, Relieve Loomis of GM duties, responsibilities and put someone in there (e.g. Ireland) who will have more power (veto) than Payton on personnel matters, both players and coaches; if this doesn't move Coach off his comfortable spot and put himself on "Competition Street", then it may be too late...

Second, We've got some serious liabilities on the coaching staff (e.g. McMahon/Kwan (Special Teams), Vitt (Linebackers), Johnson (Defensive Line) that need to be addressed...

Third, there are some scouts that need to answer for some of the misses in both Free Agency as well in the draft; I'd find replacements for Terry Fontenot, Ryan Powell, Michael Parenton, Jon Sandusky, Joey Vitt...

Fourth, in free agency the priority targets should be RG Kevin Zeitler (Cincinnati), DT Nick Fairley (New Orleans), QB Brian Hoyer (Chicago), LB Kiko Alonso (Miami), TE Ryan Griffin (Houston)...

Fifth, to retain some upcoming free agents, we may have to entertain the thought of trading or releasing some high-priced veterans who are now peaking out or oft-injured (e.g. Cam Jordan, Terron Armstead) and getting top value for need in return...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
