Just gonna leave this little nugget here...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Curtis has got to be coming back to NO and re join the band ...Umm, can't he?

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Sean Payton brings back Curtis Johnson and adds Bradford Banta for ST...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Feels good so far! Now we're just waiting for a D-Line coach.

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Huge HUGE Addition!!! :p

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Bo Davis? Pepper Johnson (worked under Bellicheck)?

Thoughts?

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Any info on Banta? Hoping his middle name isn't Flounder....

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Curtis Johnson knows how to train his receivers and I'm excited that he's home with the black and gold. We keep bringing in proven leadership and experience for our assistant positions and this is the kind of foundation that we need to build and develop this young talent. I'm stoked that Payton wasn't even at the Senior bowl practices the first two days because that means he wasn't attending the job fair known as Senior bowl. Incidentally, it's the same place we picked up Ireland.

This also tells me that any remaining position coaching vacancies could be filled by someone coaching in the Super bowl when they are free to interview and sign the paper work.

For what it's worth ..

**SOURCE** NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARE SET TO INTERVIEW Ryan Nielsen (NC State) and Craig Kuligowski (Miami) for open DL coaching position

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Craig Kuligowski was the D-Line coach at Missouri with the likes of Aldon Smith, Sheldon Richardson, Kony Ealy and Shane Ray... How's that sound?!

Re: Coach Replacements
 

That sounds pretty darn good if you ask me!

Good Read on Mike Nolan...

In Mike Nolan, Saints May Have Found A Gem | FOX Sports

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Championship!




Fingers crossed...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Well, glad Stan found work...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Nolan is easily my favorite new hire. He won't be here long, but he'll help a lot while he is here.

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Every one of these new hires needs to hand us a list of players they know and would bring on board if they were a head coach.

Re: Coach Replacements
 

I'll guarantee you that all of them have already begun to share notes.

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Oh, yeah, most of those guys probably brought in a plan of action during the interview/hiring process...

The man and his plan for each position group are hired as an entity...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Nailed it!!! :patos:

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Coach Payton breaks it down while DeShazier tosses softballs (that's what the Saints pay him to do)...

But it's still a good State of Saints Nation interview

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Guessing "see ball, go get ball" is a lot tougher coaching task than we realized...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Has been for years in the Crescent City....

Re: Coach Replacements
 

The more the merrier?

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Hmmm...DB assistant?

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Still no word from Payton on the latest coaching hires will do for the team...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

His conservative game calling drove me nuts, but he was entertaining...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

The Eastern Illinois connection continues

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Hired by his Son-in-law; Amazing the nepotism in sports, maybe he can take Joey Jr. with him...

Re: Coach Replacements
 

Anywhere but here! Too bad he didn't end up with an NFC South team.
