Dennis Allen not expecting to make any staff changes going into the Bye

Dennis Allen wanted to be a head coach. No team would hire him after his reputation with the Raiders, but the Saints were afraid to move on from Payton so gave Allen his second shot with the understanding he would just keep doing what Payton was doing.

The problem is Allen has a fraction of the charisma and leadership that Payton has. No one on the Saints is afraid of disappointing Allen. It’s why the veteran players are fighting so hard to enforce accountability at their level, because they are getting zero from the coaching staff.

truthfully we all saw this coming. Even Clutz pointed it out with his parting shot. Saying that his best years were under a coach that he feared. In this game there has to be a hierarchy and a healthy level of fear (respect) of the leader. The hierarchy is for people that cannot self motivate themselves at the level required. So they depend on the system to do it. Das workaround is to simply not to have those people on the team. But this isn’t realistic.
