BTW: I think the defensive firings have Dennis Allen's fingerprints all over it.

I think the front office has decreed that Dennis Allen has become "the man".

As far as the Special Teams firings, everyone predicted that.

I'm pretty sure they have a list. We just aren't CC'd on it.

Not sure, we're in uncharted territory here...

Payton has been hiring coaching replacements alongside the lame ducks the past three seasons with the designation "Senior (Enter Specialty) Assistant"...

Why?!? Allen, within his own scheme, did a good complementary job; we just trashed the 3-4 for the 4-3...

As if rebuilding the defensive scheme every 2.5 seasons wasn't bad enough, are we now going to go year to year, back and forth, with the defense?

I don't know how excited I am about Dennis Allen being "the guy," especially after Atlanta hung 35 first quarter points on us and there wasn't a Saints defender in sight on a bunch of their TD's.

But those defenders will not be on the active roster next year. They were only makeshift replacements.

We got Atlanta's best this year while they were having a special season...

D.A. managed to stop the second half debacles - that's a positive...

Let's let 'em finish installing this 4-3 defense and see if they continue to improve...
