I believe we are in a win win situation

I'm not here to defend Allen or advocate keeping him beyond this year but I am all for winning every time the Saints play. Hopefully that will be enough this year to make the playoffs and who knows what from there?

Tanking or not for draft position? How Unprofessional. These players and coaches are not only playing for their jobs today but also their future.

We don't have to look far back in time to cite an example.

All Houston had to do last year in their final game was to lose and the were guaranteed the 1st pick in the draft.

Entering their final game of the year with a 2-13-1 record, their lame duck Head Coach Lovie Smith went all chips in for the win, and by winning that game it cost the Texans the 1st pick in the 2023 draft.

Smith ultimately was fired and replaced by DeMeco Ryans. Chicago traded the 1st pick to Carolina who used it to pick QB Bryce Young who has struggled mightily.

Relegated to the 2nd pick, the Texans chose C.J. Stroud. Stroud is a shoe in for Rookie of the Year and is also a candidate for league MVP. Ryans is a candidate for Coach of the Year.

What this example tells us is not to worry about tomorrow. Win today! There are no guarantees of tomorrow. Coaches are hired to be fired. They come and go, usually in a short period of time. The Draft is a crap shoot even when the odds are in your favor. For every Payton Manning there's a Ryan Leaf.
