Sirianni just won a Super Bowl, but early this season they were calling for his head. He made some head scratcher calls and almost lost to our Saint (should have lost). At that point in the season, they started trending up and our collapse began.
One good thing about this bad season is that we’re getting a fresh start. 👍
It's already a fresh start just by the changes to the coaching staff. If Moore is a good head coach and puts together a good staff, that by itself will improve the performance of the team even if they don't change a single player on the roster.
Look at how much the DL improved their pass rushing after DA was fired and the defense line coaches changed. A big contributing factor to why some players play better or worse when they change teams is the coaching they get with the new team.
I'm confident that the coaching is going to be vastly improved over last season and I think if the Saints had started last season with the new coaching staff, they probably get at least 2 or 3 more wins, even with all the same injuries.
I also believe there's a good chance that the new staff wouldn't have had as many of those injuries that happened under the old staff. Once Rizzi took over, new soft tissue injuries dropped off to almost zero, because of changes he made to practices.
