Keep in mind, we signed Jeff Ireland off the bleachers at the Senior Bowl.

Ever research Peter Guinta our senior defensive cordinator assistant or whatever you call his made up title? He has basically been over secondarys. I looked him up yesterday. I guess he takes over as DC if Allen bombs.

I hope the Saints keep Coach O'Dea in some capacity. Lutz's kicking trajectory instantly improved once he was brought on board.

Really surprised we don't have our coaches hired with the Senior Game just about 10 days away...

Kevin O'Dea is almost certainly taking the ST spot, so that leaves what two, LB and DL?

I'm not so sure about that one.

Now that Kansas City has been eliminated from the post season play, I hope Saints FO will reach out to Coach Olivo (assistant of Dave Toub). He in addition to O'Dea would do absolute wonders for our special teams.

O'Dea is a kicking specialist I believe. Apparently we need someone for the return game to finally get a system for a consistent return game from punts and kick off returns........maybe someone who understands an effective blocking scheme?

There may not be much movement on the assistant coaching front until the Patriots season is over. You know how joined at the hip the Patriots and Saints have been. Payton may already have a couple of "wink, wink" agreements with some New England assistants.

Ray Ventrone, Assistant Special Teams Coach, is a possibility. Belichick wouldn't stand in the way of a upward move by one of his assistants. And LB's coach, Brian Flores, probably has an assistant that could come into play.
