Good

Best news of the day!!! Hopefully they will make these guys suck it up and get into better shape by either staying at home or somewhere in the deep south.

Thank you god, you answered my prayer. Hated the move since day one.

I'll be curious to see what some will say if the Houston Texans make another deep playoff run after having a "posh/spa" training camp in WV

.

Texans to move portion of training camp to West Virginia - Houston Chronicle

It's easy to bash having training camp there, but multiple players and reporters said our practices were amongst the most physical and grueling. It wasn't the Greenbrier that made us soft. With that being said, I'm very happy we'll be back home this year.

I think this is good. It may not have been the reason for poor defense and a mediocre record the last few years, but I think the culture has to change in all facets of the organization. Coaches were released, new ones were brought in (or some cases successful old ones were brought back), training camp is being relocated and there's a chip on the players and coaches shoulders.

It's about changing the culture of mediocrity back to winning. Whatever has been done the last few years isn't working.

I applaud this move and I'm happy they're not going to stay with status quo.

Fantastic Move, Saints.
You're tougher, already.

Bye Bye Greenbriar Chick Spa.
