I would hope so for his sake, but I dunno, Pete doesn't seem to get any credit nationally. Watching games on TV, I can't remember the last time I saw him on camera. Sean gets all national credit for our O. I think we'll lose DA first.

Fond memories of when Pete took on a bigger role in playcalling in 2011 and our offense literally exploded.

A interesting side note, the Maroons were an NFL franchise based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. They went undefeated in 1925, but were stripped of the chance to be campions because the played an exhibition game in another franchise's territory. Of course, they still claimed the title.

Now back to our regular programming.

But is he? If I asked my daughter who the offensive coordinator for the Saints is, they would hit the internet and come back with Pete Carmichael. If I asked any of you or our opponents who coordinates and runs the offense the response would be Sean Payton. I don’t recall anyone yelling “*^%#ing Pete” after a questionable play.

If Pete were (already has interviewed for the Bears in 2013) offered a position on another team it would be to get insights on Sean Payton and Pete knows that.

The Bears job would have been the stepping stone to a HC position... he didn’t take it. If he has the skill sets that we assume, he would be the heir apparent to Sean Payton.

I expect Payton to leave soon after Brees decides to retire. Another reason why I hope Brees decides to continue past this season.

I would think there are some front office people who are on other team's radars as well. Given the success we've had with drafts, salary negotiation, cap deallings, etc. As much as we want to keep the team together, it is a sign of success when others want what you have.

It would be fine if he gets away and we keep the rest of the staff intact. But in reality everyone wants what the winners have so we may lose a few.

You can say that again. Oh, wait, you did.
