Great to hear!!! I'm no longer worried about who was going to replace Morton. Welcome back Curtis!!!

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Oh I hope this is true. Would be GREAT!

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

This is excellent news! We all know what his track record is with the New Orleans Saints wide receivers. Welcome home. Now we need to re-sign Snead.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Hoping Banta is a good hire and glad to see we are bringing in someone fresh, because after the disasters of last year we need a reset of our special teams! I remember's Banta's name from playing FBPRO 96 LOL.

Not sure which one I like more.

We all know CJ is a great WR coach, but thats a luxury compared to the dumpster fire on special teams.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Anyone familiar with new special teams coordinator Bradford Banta?

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

He was my backup tight end in a virtual FBPRO football league back in the early 2000's. He was kind of slow but did a solid job :)

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

If we didn't get CJ would it have affected us?

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Why yes! It's common knowledge that earth's gravitational pull is 10% less when CJ is a Saints coach.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Yes, we would have gotten someone else.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

More than it would have you. We only have one team.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

route running will only improve, meaning more open receivers in my opinion.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

I like it !

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

This is good news!

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

welcome home

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

I'm just saying. I hate for us to have had to wait on this person or that person just to be good again(maybe not but it seems that way).

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

best reciever's coach ever!

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE UPGRADES!

CURTIS JOHNSON!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOT

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

The two players I'm really interested in watching for the Saints this year to see if they enjoy a positive "CJ" effect are Brandon Coleman and Jake Lampmann...

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Brandon Coleman, Tommy Lee Lewis and Coby Fleener are about to be taught how to catch!!

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

I think these two will improve greatly under CJ. I thought BC turned a corner last year. He wasn't great by any means but steady.

Re: Curtis Johnson, He's Back! Also Saints Hiring Bradford Banta
 

Hope he can do something with Brandon Coleman
