Time to end this circus: Saints have wasted 3 years of our time (merged)

The only thing that could be wrong is that nobody would want the HC job. There are ambitious people out there who believe they can overcome any challenge. That’s probably what’s needed, a borderline egomaniac but one with brains and insight (vis a vis Mike Ditka). I doubt that there’s a bigger challenge in the NFL than the Saints from a head coaching standpoint, for all the reasons you mentioned.

Every head coach opening in the NFL, with very rare exception, is a difficult job. But, it's the NFL. It's a league designed for parity. Any team can be made into a good team in 3 or 4 years with good drafting and good lower level free agent signings. And it doesn't matter if you start from ground zero or start with a mediocre roster.

I just don't get the doom and gloom. 2 mediocre years and 1 bad year and everyone is on suicide watch. Now is the time for hope. We wanted DA gone and he is gone. Now we look for a new coach to turn things around. And, yes, there are plenty of good coaches out there and we will hopefully get one of them. It might not be the hot name that will get fans excited but that doesn't mean they aren't a good coach. Neither Campbell nor O'Connell were the hot names the year they got their jobs but every single one of us would take one of them now and be excited about it.
