Allen is one of those guys that are too smart for their own good. In key situations he tries things that often backfire because he's outthought himself. Sometimes it's good to just do the tried and tested thing, The irony is he's not exactly what I'd call creative either. He's the type of coach to play the odds which may seem like a contradiction to what I said above, but somehow it isn't when it comes to him. I don't think he is a bad defensive coordinator, as he was a huge upgrade from Rob Ryan. There are better coaches out there though. I wish we would have kept Spags and got him the personnel he needed. I think if Payton never gets suspended, we'd still have Spags and maybe have a couple of SBs as our defense would have been good in years in which our offense was really booming. People really underestimate how much the bountygate bull**** set us back. It screwed up many things that may not seem obvious at first glance. Without it. I think Brees has 3 titles at the very least.
