The undesirable but most likely reality.

I listened to Underhill’s pod on Saturday and I think the biggest point he made was the one that gets brushed under the rug.

The casual fan want DA to be fired to punish him as the singular scapegoat for all the Saints problems.

I’m in no way endorsing DA, and I I know NO ONE wants to hear what Mickey said (look beyond the results) but I’m looking at it from a business perspective.

It’s not DA’s fault the cap is in shambles (and it is), it’s not DAs fault that his highest priced players are mostly ineffective, aging vets because we are forced to push salary out and only a small part (I’m sure he had input but no real control) of the draft failures are his fault.

What I’m setting up to say is a new coach won’t change much and a good coach won’t take this job.

You have the tear down and clean up before you get to the rebuild. NU pointed out it will take up to 3 years to clean the cap up because we can’t simply cut all the high priced vets, we will have to push money out just to get under the cap, like we do every single season ($80 plus million over next season)

My point is, I’m deducting that they would be fine keeping DA as long as they can to continue the tear down/clean up portion to make this a desirable job before bringing in a top coaching prospect.

I don't disagree with many of the points you make in this post.
However, this team started 2-0 before the injuries started to pile up and we lost 2 very winnable games. While there where many factors in those loses, they both where results of defensive breakdowns. In my opinion some of this 5 games losing streak is on the shoulders of Allen.

Lets say Nick is right and it takes three years to break it all down and get thing right. That means 3 mores losing seasons with Allen before you make a change. The smarter approach is to move on from Allen and bring in a new face. This gives you two things:

1. It buys you some time with the fans. 3 more years of Allen will just kill any trust you have with the fan base. Fans will get excited about seeing a fresh face.
2. You might get lucky and hire the next great coach.

The reality is, I am not sure any of this matters because I think Loomis thinks that Allen is the right coach and that the team is only struggling because of inquires. Feel like they have the blinders on some of the real issues facing this team and they think just getting healthy will fix all the problems.
