Their first coach was John McKay. He was there when they broke their record losing streak to open the franchise against the Saints late in 1977 and then coached them to their first few winning seasons. But even he couldn't muster up better than a 3-4 record against Stram, Nolan and Phillips. Loss #4 was in 1984 in the Dome -- my first Saints game I ever went to, as a nine-year-old kid struggling to see the action over the tall grown-ups. Hokie Gajan scored the winning touchdown that day ;)
