Keeping Kubiak (Merged)

It’s still way early but based on his time with the 49ers and his first week with the Saints how do you lock someone like him down. If he continues to build the offense this year to a top 5 and does it again nex year how do the Saints keep him? If the saints have a top 5 offense and make the playoffs it’s rightfully so securing Dennis Allen’s position as head coach. After last year with the 49ers and he has 2 good years with the Saints the Cowboys will come calling as well as a few other teams looking for an up and coming offensive mind.

I think you are missing the point. In most cases, most successful coordinators will leave for a head coach position. It is inevitable.

The important thing is to have a quality staff, to develop coaches and be able to give promotions to people that are familiar with the system, the team and the city.

To me, that is the most impressive thing about Shannahan, it seems obvious that the offense continue with coaches leaving, as he calls plays. He also has lost several defence coordinators and the results are more or less stable.
