Cal DC Peter Sirmon will be Saints LB coach (34 Viewers)

[Bayou_City]

I'm getting beaucoup excited about this upcoming season.........maaaaan hold up

 

[Snakehead]

Well I'm also noticing a lot of former players on this staff. It's leaning towards the way the Lions built their staff. Can't say it's not smart.

Random Note. Has anyone noticed we have 3 former QBs on the coaching staff? If ever there was an ideal envionrment for the development of Rattler they are creating it

Yes, I made a comment when they all lined up that we could turn into a QB factory where we have a clear cut #1 and then draft/develop and trade the #2 guy for draft capital like the Patriots used to do. I think you may have been on a break then, lol.

If Cam is moved to OLB

Uh, that would be a terrible move.

Lots of college influence coming onto the staff. That's interesting.

alot of fresh faces on the sideline

FYI.

Our DC is a Fangio disciple, and Fangio has become a heavy user of the 4-2-5 alignment. (With 2-4-5 personnel)

Our DB coach comes from a 4-2-5 defense.

Our LB coach comes from a 4-2-5 defense.

All signs point to… 4-2-5.

Oh no. This is really bad! Took MSU from 23.2 ppg year before to 31.8 his year then fired him and went to 20.9 ppg. His defense was worse than watching our 2015 D.

Maybe they will draft Xavier Carlton in the late rounds. Really like him.

He’s a position coach tasked with learning and teaching someone else’s defense, not coordinating. Give him a chance.

The official Saints site is down to 3 defensive coaches from last year. None of the new coaches are on there yet, besides Kellen Moore.

I'm wondering if Brian Young might be staying on as D Line coach.

I think these are just the three “These are the coaches I’d like you to keep” guys on that side of the ball from ML, mostly locals and/or loyal Saints-lifer types.

still missing a dl and secondary coach

Maybe because we're still missing a dl and secondary.

I really think we should move on from Brian Young. Dude's been here since 2009 and has been our pass rush specialist since 2016. Rankins , Davenport, Turner , Foskey, Breesee.......not exactly big time pass rush guys under his watch.
But i mean the guy did have a 9 year career where he averaged 2.5 sacks a year..........so i guess i shouldn't be too surprised.
