Things will heat up even more after we win our second Lombardi on February 7th.

Yes, the same date as we won our first Lombardi.

No doubt we'll lose a few excellent coaches ... at least in some of our minds. There remain a few that will celebrate. :confused:

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

It is time for Pete Carmichael to land a head coaching job, way overdue.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

If we had a practice squad coach, he would be getting the most looks.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

I'm most worried about losing Nielson. He turned around the D-line and then the secondary improved. Just last year and even earlier this year we were turning on Allen and Glenn because we were a better team than we put out on the field.

They can have Fontenot though. He's been pretty much hit or miss in his time here. He only improved when my man Ireland cleaned house in the scouting department and cleared up the specifics of what we wanted from a draft pick.

I don't think Ireland will go anywhere else. He's very well paid and is well respected here in New Orleans. Change his title to whatever but keep him here doing his thing of giving us tons of talent. He failed as a GM before but is one heck of a scouting director. Why leave the perfect place for what may or may not be greener pastures?

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Agreed on coach Nielsen.

At some point, I believe he’ll get a opportunity at DC.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Heck yeah, I would imagine he's been getting a lot of looks. But if he
goes who will bail out DA's a$$.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

While he's an excellent position coach, there's no guarantee he is DC material. Lots of good position coaches don't transition well to coordinator. The same with coordinators transitioning to head coach. Both are significant changes.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Agreed. Pointing directly at Doug Marrone..., oof. One of the worst head coaching hires ever.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

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

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

I am not sure what to expect from Payton as I do not know what his personal drivers are. He has a net worth of +/- $25M, 1 Super Bowl trophy, 26th all time winning-est coach in the NFL, and at 56 years old he is young even by NFL standards with 9 HCs older than he is.

• Does he want another SB trophy with the Saints.
• Does he want another SB trophy with a different team to help get him into the HoF.
• Does he want another SB with a different QB to speak to his skillset and remove the Brees shadow.
• Is he comfortable where he lives and wants to work the rest of his career out living in New Orleans
• Is he tired and only wants to coach Drew
• Does his GF play a part in his future
• Will his children effect whether he wants to live in or move out of New Orleans.

Only he knows these answers and I would take everything he says publicly with a grain of salt, he has a line to tow while he is under contract.

Jets request interview w/Saints secondary coach - Aaron Glenn.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Please explain why he would leave New Orleans. I just don't see it. This franchise is literally built around him.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

I’d go as far as to say he built this franchise, at least the last 14 years which it notably its mode successful period.

I know a lot of people call him arrogant but I can’t think of a successful NFL coach that isn’t/wasn’t.. Lombardi, Schula, Landry, Belichik, Parcells, Gruden, all have the same character trait, they were arrogant and full of hubris. Not Jerry Jones sort of obnoxious arrogance but a more subdued arrogance.

A certain level of it is required to lead men into a combat environment.

I heard Zach S say that Saints Dline coach Ryan Nielsen could get the LSU DC job.

Just an fyi …

I hope so, too. You are running low on draft related things to gripe about.

Here's what one of the PFF guys thinks; personally, am hoping Campbell stays and is Payton's successor within the next season or two...

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Most NFL picks do not pan out. You know that as well as I. It's easy to "pick" them apart. (see what I did there?)

I know you, JP. The draft is your favorite part of the NFL season. This last draft must have been hard on you with so few picks. You must have been on suicide watch back in 1999.

Re: SI.com/Bob Rose | Saints Assistants Getting Attention from NFL Teams
 

Tell that to the Vikings with their 15 picks. More picks do not necessarily mean better picks. If you can evaluate talent efficiently and targeting that talent means moving up to absolutely make sure you get that talent, then settling for more players deemed lesser is not better.

As for 2017, it wasn't the number of the picks, it was the quality of the players taken with those picks. I don't know if you play darts or not, but if I was given a choice of throwing a fist full of darts at one time and five darts one at a time I would bet the bank on getting more bullseyes on those five darts every time.

Yes, perennial winners do build through the draft. Those winners don't need a ton of picks to accomplish that, however.

And we all know you well enough to know how much the draft and the evaluation of the draftees means to you. No need for satellite radio to show us that. :D

Oh, and I listen to XM, not Sirius.

I have always had an XM receiver therefore I get XM channels. Perhaps you were not aware there are XM, Sirius, and SiriusXM channels and they can be different.

"There are three different kinds of radios, each with different technology: Sirius radios, XM radios and SiriusXM radios. Radios labeled as Sirius radios can only receive Sirius packages, XM radios can only receive XM packages, and SiriusXM radios can only receive SiriusXM packages."

XM technology is generally recognized to have better sound quality than Sirius, as well. It is a more established technology.
