Randy, I have felt your pain when it comes to this forum. I have been on here since it was called ironera.com ditka was the coach. Posters on here rarely like to have a good discussion about the team, they just want to tear them apart. I feel like the team is in good hands , just very conservative hands. THey have never been a team that makes quick emotional decisions. Yes that frustrates me at times however i think that we have the best ownership in the NFL. I also think that between Dennis Lausha and Mickey Loomis we are in great hands. They are very methodical in moves. If we weren't we wouldn't be in the salary cap situation that we are in. Mickey invests in the future , sometimes i don't understand it but i have to respect his decisions. I met him on the golf course one day at TPC avondale he was in the group behind me. It was a slow day and i saw him while i was on the tee box. It was right before Payton left . They had a difficult season covid, no fans, we played 5 different starting qbs. I just told him thank you. I waited 40yrs before we won a superbowl. I honestly never thought i would ever experience that as a Saints fan. I told him i was good for the rest of my life. He said that he wasn't! He said we should have had 3 at least under Brees. So I really feel like he's not finished and wants more and will do whatever it takes to do it again. I really feel like he thought SP was coming back and just wanted a year off. I think that took him off guard. I don't think he thinks that DA is the answer but doesn't want to bail on him a year too early. I am a fan of DA as DC not HC. I think and i've said it on this forum. If we got Jon Gruden to come help with the offense. He would make Carmichael better, he would make Carr better and he would light a fire under DA. DA needs help he's not a leader. He's needs to show some emotion and not be so passive. Gruden would chew him up and spit him out. So here you go . Here is my discussion. The team can't be sold based on succession until Gayle dies and it has to stay in NOLA. Lausha and Loomis are really the owners per se. They are not going any where until they want too! WHODAT!
