Indirectly sure, but an even bigger factor is probably our loss of prime time games etc. Just reduced popularity as a whole is a money depriving situation, and you're right. All of that is related to how many wins you get, and fans are getting sick of the lack of progress. Even if he gets next year, which is almost guaranteed, I don't think another 7-9 or 8-8 campaign will allow him anymore time.

I swear I didn't even know he was getting anywhere close to that. No I wouldn't leave either. The hours have to be way less, the stress less, the BS less

Well sean isn't in the booth. Sean is an exception because he is one of the hightest actually the highets I believe.

Gruden gets gets 6.5 million. The average HC salary for the year is aboug 4 million. I don't think I would leave the booth if I was going to bet less than 6.5 or even 7.5 I mean you have a contract and you are getting paid and going to be there as long as you want really. HC job he lasted the longest in TB at 6 years. I think I'd take the safer bet and stay in the booth.

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.

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.

Sarik...

You really think Chucky would risk taking the hit to his stock?

He's got the MNF gig and can ride that out another twenty years?

Making more overall with less stress...

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.
