Nick Underhill: Players organizing a Players-Only Meeting

Wound up getting to chat with Mrs. B. after the meeting. Totally unexpected but very pleasant. I feel more encouraged than discouraged. The longer this deathspiral goes the more I find myself getting caught up in the hyperbole, but talking with her gave me some insight into how she likes to operate. She didn't say anything about anyone's fate, and I'm not going to ask for information that isn't given. She did acknowledge she is aware, she hears the fan sentiment and sees the state of the Dome emptying at halftime.

DA talks like a guy who knows he is not getting fired, yet at the same time you could also say he is talking like a guy who knows he is getting fired. The last time the Saints let a coach go mid-season was Rob Ryan, in fact I am pretty sure in the Loomis era, Rob Ryan is the only coach they've ever let go of mid-season?

Also, not a single coach who was a part of the 2009 season, no matter how badly they performed after, was ever let go mid-season.

I would not be shocked at all if they're already looking at Head Coach candidates for 2025 and what it would potentially take to get them here.

Good stuff.

For what its worth, Gayle fired Stan Van Gundy after 1 season because Griff told her it was the right/necessary thing to do. So we know she's not completely allergic to canning someone quickly if its not working. But obviously nobody on the football side is telling her to fire DA just yet. She may get there on her own soon enough.
