The firing of the positional coaches, while needed, was a knee jerk reaction. The problem now is, who in the Saints organization can evaluate coaches? We know is not Loomis. We know Payton's modus operandi for evaluating defensive coaches is the "how well the do against my offense?" method. Allen?

We'll see...

Though I don't agree that the firing was a knee jerk reaction considering the level of futility we've had over the past four seasons, I do agree that Payton needs to get some serious outside help in the hiring process. Since our SB win it looks like the only thing worse than our defensive performance on the field is Payton's selection of our defensive coaches.

You are right.

What I really wanted to say, I didn't think there was a plan of action before the firings. The most important thing, though, I don't feel warm and fuzzy about anyone in the Saints staff being able to make an effective hire on that side of the ball. Like the ST coach mentioned in the Underhill tweet about the SF ST coach, who has bounced around from team to team (5 teams in the last 8 years) as an Assistant ST coach.
