Maybe not but being in that south louisiana heat in the summer gonna be a reality check from the cool west virginia air.

Pretty smart. We can go inside when it just gets too freaking hot or the weather gets bad.

No more logistics hoops to jump thru.

They still have the indoor facility. Not sure what the big deal is or why they need to train anywhere else. Yeah, it's hot but it's not hard mitigating hydration. Drink water fool. A lot of it. And change the practices to the early morning and late afternoon. Leave 11-230PM alone.

mixed feeling on this one. I am still wanting them all to go back to college life out of town at some division 2 school. Dorms cafeteria and such

Think? They already know that life.

Metairie in July and August is considered a tropical rain forest.
Average High: 92 - Humidity: 85%.

It rains almost every afternoon between 3:30-6:00 in August but mornings and evenings are tolerable. Workouts at 1:30pm is hard... unbelievable hard. You will sweat more than your posterior off. You will learn what it takes to be a kick A$$ or you will be cut. Works every time we have an offseason here.

I will say Hammond (top left) is hottest place in the area and it doesn't rain there as much.... so Hagan, if you want to send them to a Division 2 school, the place is 60 miles away. Actually when we worked out in Mississippi, I thought that was the best place.

Teach them out to sweat their "Johnson" off.

We will be ready to play any outside game in September and will make playing in the Superdome fun.

PERSONAL DISTANCE FROM Saints Headquarters... I never measured but I may be 5 miles away.

I'm biased, but Nicholls State in Thibodaux, LA had a good balance and good proximity for the fans; plus, great local food!!!

But if they'd stayed in Louisiana, the absolute hottest place at that time of year is further North, in Hell's Triangle of DeRidder, Natchitoches, and Pineville...

Geeez is that freaking area hot...

I'd really like to have seem them geaux to Natchitoches or Thibodaux...

But staying in the 504 is just fine, plenty watering hole choices in the evening...
