The point is that there isn’t a “right” or “wrong” path.

The 90s 49ers and Cowboys each faced similar decisions. The 49ers stuck with continuity with Seifert while the Cowboys went against it and hired Switzer.

Each won Super Bowls, but the the Cowboys fizzled out quickly, whereas the 49ers remained strong for a couple years until Seifert retired.

Was one right and the other wrong? Or is it more likely that each situation is different and should be taken as such?

Lol. I agree there is more than one way to skin a cat, buuuttt

Seifert went 14-2 his first year and he won a SB with Montana (and Young as QB2) and a team that had won a SB the year before and was peaking during what was then their second act of greatness. It was also before the new FA rules and salary cap, which made the idea of roster and coaching continuity much more realistic.

That “ancient” scenario bares only superficial relevance to what the Saints are experiencing now.
