You know except for a missed field goal in the Green Bay game the Saints would be 10-7. How can firing DA be reasonably justified? In all honesty, more consistent play in the run game and run defense would make this a 10/7 team or better.
Please recall that the Green Bay loss included a 17 point blown lead in the 4th quarter (defensive coach!) and the team has now missed the playoffs for the 3rd straight year despite the easiest schedule in the league - it seems perfectly justified.
But the Saints move slowly on these things so we will have to go through it all again next year before anything changes.
