IMO Eric should already be a Head Coach in this league. He's ready.

And was ready last season too.

Eric Bieniemy

A NOLA boy who made it out of Louisiana. Good for him.

Is he ready for a HC job. Maybe... maybe not. It's a different animal managing vs coaching.

Lincoln Riley - doubt he turns to the pro game. Unless he gets tired of getting beat by SEC teams.

Dan Campbell needs to go to a coordinator position first. He seems smart.

He can be no worse than Freddie Kitchens, Adam Gase or Anthony Lynn. The new Browns HC is 38 and was a OC/RB coach before becoming a HC.

Eric has been in the league twice as long with skins on the wall. He's more than ready. Andy Reid coaching tree is impressive so it's just a matter of time for EB.

The problem is not Payton. It's his loyalty to his cronies. It took forever to clean house and then he brought DA back because he has a comfort level with him. It's certainly not because Allen is a top notch D-coordinator.

There's really nothing major wrong with the Saints defense that can be helped. You cannot avoid injuries. You cannot cover in the downfield defensive backfield without pressure upfront and pressure up front requires healthy starters mostly.

If the team is that loaded blame it on coaching. You can't fix stupid but you can coach situational awareness. Our secondary doesn't really have the ability to close because apparently they aren't taught too. Not only that but DA changes up what's been working and apparently only confuses the defense in critical moments. Three in three years causing an early exit from the playoffs.

I feel comfortable blaming Dennis Allen. Besides I've always thought he looked kinda' wormy.

He looks more like a volleyball coach.
