Do you think Dennis Allen could succeed

There are 32 positions available to coach an NFL team. 6-7 of those are available usually every year. There have been hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who are great position coaches and coordinators who cannot successfully be a HC in the NFL.

Being an NFL HC is like being the CEO of a major corporation; one has to see the big picture and know the granular details regarding anything from injuries, the salary cap, and knowing how to lead all kinds of different people.

DA is not a good HC because it's a completely different skill set from a positions coach or coordinator.

One of the hallmarks of great coaching across the board is being great at situational football--3rd down, red-zone, turnover ratio, penalties, doubling up the scoring at the end of one half and beginning the 3rd quarter, etc. etc.

The Saints are AWFUL at situational football, something they were great at most years Payton was here.
