Re: Gruden, Sean Payton, Shaw options for Rams HC position
 

Every game for the foreseeable future is sold out for the Saints, win or lose. As for loss of prime time games and/or popularity affecting the bottom line, you forget that the NFL uses a profit sharing approach. The Cleveland Browns get an equal share of the league wide profits gained from sources such as television contracts and merchandise sales, as does the New England Patriots. A team's record can only affect a team's income if butts are not in the seat and that is only a small percentage of the overall income.

He has as much said the exact same thing, as has Bill Cowher, although Cowher has even more reason to remain on the set.

You also have to factor in all of the endorsement deals he gets these days. An NFL head coach does not have the time to spend with those. He is probably making several million more per year on those alone.

Maybe, but the revenue generated purely from ticket sales is what 120 million-150 million per year. I mean yeah if half the tickets didn't sell that would be something, but 10-20% although noticeable wouldn't make or break a team financially. Wouldn't help, obviously, but certainly wouldn't destroy them. At the end of the day when you keep churning 7-9, I don't know if it is purely revenue motivated, but you're not going to be coach anymore.

This idea that we don't know what's on the other side, that is true, but we didn't know what was on the other side when we got SP. The idea is that you do your best to select the right person and hope he wins you some games.

SP is going to be here next year, barrring some miracle, I hope we are 12-4. If we are back to 7-9, then damn how many times until you learn your lesson. To keep saying that we don't know what is on the other side and that somehow should paralyze ourselves with fear into eternal mediocrity is nonsense. Pure rubbish.

And no offense AG, but I called 5-11 to 7-9 while we were in preseason, and you kept coming on here throwing temper tantrums at people. I am not really going to hear much of what you have to say on this subject simply because you have done this before, with other topics (involving the team), and been wrong.

Re: Gruden, Sean Payton, Shaw options for Rams HC position
 

I'm still counting on 8-8 which could be enough to make the playoffs. But, before the season I felt the Saints easily had enough talent to win 12 games. If they could have avoided the rash of injuries that started before the season got under way I don't believe any of this talk would be circulating. Three years ago the problem was with the defense. The same problem last season. This year the injury bug. If the problem had been the offense I could understand the total blame on Payton, but I just can't see it in these cases at all.

Two words: Click Bait.

It quotes an NFL Network article from Rapaport, who like LaCanfora cannot tell the difference between a hole in their backside and a hole in the ground.

I don't trust either of those guys. I wouldn't mind if he chose to go. Again, I think Sean can still coach, Just think he needs to get re-energized. I wouldn't mind seeing Shan from the Falcons, look at what that dude has done down there with that offense. With our weapons, we wouldn't miss a beat
