Classy
I skimmed about 6-7 articles but did not find anythingAnyone remember who else was in the running for head coach when we hired Ditka?
Dude say what you want about Ditka, but he honestly wanted to do well here and turn us around.
I remember about a year after he was let go I got bumped up to first class on a flight to Chicago and who did I get a seat next to? Ditka. I was wearing a Saints shirt and he struck up the conversation. We talked Saints the whole flight and he bought me drinks the whole flight.
He had nothing but great things to say about the Benson family, the organization, the fans, etc. He really felt bad about how it turned out, but said he would always support us. Was happy that we had finally won a playoff game. I believe we won that playoff game with most of the players he had as well.
When we do off the plane, he shook my hand and then gave me the biggest cigar I had ever seen, lol.told me if I had time while I was in town to go to his restaurant and have a meal on him. Never got to do that because it was a short 2 day meeting.
All in all, he was a cool guy and I got respect for him.
He probably should have spent even more time on the linksI’m sure he is a fun guy to chat with, there is a reason he is/was on TV! However, I heard that he spent more time on the golf course than coaching!
Mike Ditka come back was a huge mistake on both him and the Saints. The game clearly passed him by when he arrived. If he hadn't came back he would look better in retrospect.
On that note with his time in Chicago if he had better QBs or offensive coaches no telling how many SBs he would of won. McMahon and Harbaugh were yuck even by that era's standards.
If memory serves Ditka and Benson had a conversation before Venturis interim was even over to get Ditkas temperature about returning. Ditka expresses interest and I don’t think anyone else was ever seriously considered.
Forgotten about good ole heath. I think about the Billy Joe's, Delhomme, Wuerful and Kerry Collins. Guess that makes Heath a big ole forgotten bustLol. Ditka could have stuck with Jim Everett after he had one of the best seasons statistically in Saints QB history at that time. He ran off Everett for Heath Schuler. Ryan Leaf gets all the accolades as one of the biggest bust in qb history ole Heath needs to be in that conversation. Had Ditka kept Everett around things could have been different as we actually had a solid defense in his first year with Xaven.
