Keeping Kubiak (Merged)

If the Saints miss playoffs this year or don’t show clear improvement (not saying they will but it’s a what if) DA is 100% fired. They will not get rid of Kubiak after 1 season. So there definitely is a path. You can just say it’s not likely.
Typically when a HC is fired, the entire coaching staff is fired. I would think the only exception would be if the offense plays lights out and the defense collapses. In my opinion, I think the Saints would have to have a losing season and/or have huge coaching blunders/bad decisions for Allen to be fired. It’s hard to fire a 9-8 coach, especially if there were injuries or bad luck that contributes to them missing the playoffs. The GM also deserves a lot of credit for this team, win or loss. Because of cap issues, the Saints really haven’t made any significant free agent acquisitions, and we gave up a high no 1 for Trevor Penning.
Now if Loomis goes, Allen would probably go with the next GM bringing in his own guy. But I think the next Saints GM is already in the building when Loomis retires.
