USA Today Ranks Dennis Allen Worst Head Coach in the League

Swampy Saint said

Every successful head coach has to go through their growing pains.

I wasn't a fan of the D.A. hire, but all he can do is work to improve.
He fired the whole offensive coaching staff and replaced it with a system that is working in the NFL right now.
Do you know if he chose the previous OC or was he forced to use the same old system?

I can speak as a manager of 30+ years. All you can do is measure the plusses and minuses of your record and make changes accordingly.
Hopefully, the new offensive scheme is much better than the system created for Drew that didn't have Drew to run it.

Some have success right away, some don’t…..but the question is how long do you give a coach before you realize he just doesn’t have the tools/ability to lead?

In one breath you say “he fired the whole offensive coaching staff”, in another you say he may not have had a choice in retaining the previous OC…..did he suddenly acquire the authority after a few years?

The prevailing opinions on the matter was that both DA and ML begged PC to stay, after the first season disaster someone made the decision to retain him….to me it doesn’t matter who made the decision….if DA did then it reinforces to me that DA is a poor decision maker….if it was ML then it’s a larger problem, any NFL team where a HC doesn’t have the ability to make changes to their staff is a dysfunctional organization IMO….

as Saints fans we have no choice but to what and see what happens….but, my feeling is after all these changes, if we don’t make the playoffs this year, what is there left to change?
