Dennis Allen: It’s time for the growing pains to “be done with” on offense. (No coaching changes) (2 Viewers)

Typical DA. Loyal to a fault. He can sit around the bar and drink with his stooges when they’re all coaching together in Denver.

This guy is so dejected. He feels or seems to be feeling like a failure. Like it’s hit him lately that man, this is chance number 2 and I have more talent here by a long shot than I did in Oakland and I’m getting the same result.

He just sounds completely dejected. We have known for some time that he has no answers, but I guess it’s finally hit him that he doesn’t know what to do here.

Aren't we already on that bridge? It's week 8.

Well, that's it. The emptiest threat that I have ever heard. Dennis will probably only make a change under one circumstance.

It's the bye week and the team fighting for survival.

Definition of Insanity or Stupidity, “doing the same things over and over again that have failed in the past expecting a different result.” This is the coaching philosophy of DA and Pete Carmichael and Leadership Model that Mickey Loomis seeks when searching out future coaches.

Don’t worry Charlie Brown (DA), I’m sure you can trust Lucy (PC) if you just try again.

Here’s the problem that I have with this. There was a point in my career where I was promoted into a very advanced role before I was ready - I can admit that. I struggled off the bat in almost every facet of my role. After about a month of trying to “figure it out”, I started calling former coworkers and supervisors and asking for guidance and advice. I studied, I listened to sound advice, and I changed the things that I needed to in order to improve the performance of my employees and myself. We gradually improved and ultimately things worked out very well.

Why don’t some coaches like DA and others who are clearly in over their heads do the same? Are they not allowed to consult with former coaches - I know they are. Can they not look at other teams’ film and try to copy plays - we have the athletes on offense to run a lot of the plays that these successful offenses run. Tweak some things, make some changes here and there in the X’s and O’s, throw some wrinkles not named Taysom in the playbook, something.

I just don’t understand not trying to do everything you can to improve. Ok so you don’t think you have answers - seek help then. We have the players, and our coaching staff with all their flaws are not idiots - it’s mind-boggling.

This is probably the first time watching the saints that I almost don't care. Dennis Allen is gutless.

So true, I was on a golf trip, so was beat when game started, I listened to much of it half asleep and didn't really care because I figured they'd find a way to lose. And the big part is it's just not a very enjoyable offense to watch, it's predictable and deflating. Drew wouldn't have killed to have this talent on Offense ! . . .If I had to guess, I would say DA isn't that scared to lose his job because he is a really good/ great DC and will get paid enough where he ends up. The fans are the ones that are losing out, the only control we have is don't buy Saints products until things change and don't go to games, sad as that is. I've never been to one, almost went to the NFC championship game agains the Rams, glad I didn't, but now I would like to, but it's a long way to go to watch this mess

Great job Dennis, all you had to do to get the growing pains to stop is to tell them to. Surely this Sunday we’ll all get to enjoy a growing pain free offense, glad that’s nipped in the bud.

Is Dennis Allen the Jay Cutler of head coaches?

 

[Blazing Saint]

Quitter. Absolute quitter.

 

[whodatbe]

This is all I got.

 

[Blazing Saint]

If he gets a 3rd year, we have to take a united stance. Boycotts, whatever it takes. This can’t be allowed to continue another season.

I get the 19% of you who wanted to support this for year 2….Maybe you thought supporting the decision was the best you could do. But the longer you let this disease spread, the longer and more improbable it’s going to become to turn it around.

If you love this team, you can’t sit idly by and support this another year. No matter how you feel or felt about Allen, we all need him gone.

Thank you. Whoever clowned this post is exactly the part of the problem.

 

[Blazing Saint]

I don't see a problem with this... Sounds like he's putting his QB on notice.

You're part of the problem. You have to be trolling. Have to be.

Some position coaches don’t become good coordinators and some coordinators don’t become good head coaches, a shame that it’s happening to us but here we are.

Supposedly they do self scouting, a guy who’s as good a DC as him has to know he’d tie Pete in knots if he faced him. Do they not sit down together and watch the tape? Amazing.
