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?

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.

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

 

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.

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
