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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
