The New Orleans Saints announced the hiring of seven new assistants on Wednesday, completing a substantial makeover of head coach Sean Payton's staff.

 

The team confirmed the hiring of senior defensive assistant Dennis Allen and running backs coach Joel Thomas, whose hirings had previously been reported. The Saints also added receivers coach John Morton and assistant linebackers coach James Willis, offensive assistants Kyle DeVan and Greg Lewis and coaching assistant Brendan Nugent.

 

 

 

 

Maybe they think new coaches will fix their horrible salary cap problem?

And yet they kept Rob Ryan..

Saints change staff = sinking ship

Panthers dont change staff = sinking ship

You have to love the contradictions here.

The Saints are a sinking ship because they hit the 'Drew Brees is old' and 'We mortgaged the future' icebergs.

Carolina is not a sinking ship, and people who say it is are being foolish.

I haven't ever heard of any one of those hirees' names.

I think most people here don't feel like the ship is sinking, they just feel the engines need to be overhauled, or that we need a new chief engineer.

The assistant LB coach I've heard of because he's a former Auburn player and coach and an utter dirtbag.

 

He should fit quite well on that staff actually.

And yet they kept Rob Ryan..

 

My first thought. 

[saints4life25]

If you've never heard of Dennis Allen, you should watch more football outside of Carolina.

Good hires, although, I was hoping to fire Greg McMahon, the special teams coordinator.

[Chief Keek]

Aint's keep circling the drain, I hope they enjoyed that time at the top.

I wouldn't exactly call James Willis a "good hire".  He was OK at best while at Auburn and his subsequent college stops IMO.

 

And is it really a "good hire" considering the current anti-domestic abuse atmosphere in the NFL?

Former Auburn and Alabama assistant football coach James Willis has pleaded guilty to charges of assault and domestic violence and was sentenced to six months deferred probation, according to Lubbock, Texas television station Fox 34.

 

 

Congrats on the "good hire" though.
