I have heard you guys mention a slew of coaches to replace Fox, but have not heard Shottys name called. If the Saints were in the need for a coach I would not mind entertaining this idea. He is a great coach, but has not been able to win the big one but my hunch is he is due. What do you guys think? Just curious, I know as a Saints fan I would not like it if this were to happen.

He no longer wants to coach.

That said his style is very much like Fox's.

We don't need a rah rah guy, we need a tactical, level headed coach. Fox and Schotty are perfect guys to rebuild a roster with, but I am not so sure that they can consistently take teams to the next level.

Look at us, and the Chargers, as measuring sticks.

Doesn't he live in Charlotte?

He is on Sirius NFL radio. About 2 months ago callers were asking him about coaching. He was pretty definite that he had no interest in becoming a head coach again. Said he would not do it.

Yeah. I think he is enjoying retirement so much that he doesn't want to come back. Plus, he isn't getting any younger. If he does come back, he would likely be close to 70 when 2012 start if the 2011 lockup happend. We need coaches that aren't that old like him.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
