Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

DA was a historically bad coach, and the 2024 Saints season was negatively impacted by major injuries. Both things can be true. It's not an either/or. Thankfully, the confluence of events lead to DA's dismissal. Worst case scenario is we would have won 2-3 more games (perhaps due to a healthier roster) and Loomis keeps DA around for another season.
