Turning Point - Benson Fiasco

I thought the turning point for the franchise was when Tagliabue basically forced Benson to go back to New Orleans. Benson was intent on keeping the Saints in San Antonio and he burned a lot of bridges with the fanbase along the way. So when he was told he had to come back to New Orleans he knew the only way to get that fanbase back was to show he was willing to do what it takes to make this franchise a winner.

It wasn't too long after that the changes started coming with the firing of Haslett and then a little later letting go of Brooks which were two things the fans have been wanting to happen for years. Even if we didn't get Bush I still think the season would have been a sellout just because of the changes that were made plus the rebuilt Superdome and the fact that the Saints were finally coming home.
