Yeah, and the fear (for me at least) is that we would give DA another season to see if he can work it out.
People will say “wel, Sean had a few 7-9 seasons in a row.” But they fail to mention that Sean also took the team to the playoffs and to the NFC title game before he went on those 7-9 skids. There was goodwill built up. He had the skin on the wall to prove he could do it.
DA has shown the NFL (not just the Saints) that he isn’t a head coach (or at least not a very good one).
