Fire Dennis Allen Billboard (1 Viewer)

[NEBaghead]

I hate that above .500 is considered a winning season. We missed the playoffs. IMO, that's not a winning season. We go home just like the 2-15 team. That was the bar set for DA before the season started with everyone knowing this was the weakest division and DA was given everything he wanted to load the roster. Saints severely underachieved. This is peak DA. he will never do better than 9-8.

Then Dan Campbell should have been fired last year. We finished pretty much the same as Campbell (The Lord and Savior Coach according to some) did in his second year.

I think this is a little harsh. This board and what we say on here does not have the power to hurt the team.

i understand the frustration from a fans view, reading endless other fan hate rants. You can’t hate DA for being himself. He’s just not the guy. It’s not his fault, he wants to be the guy he just isn’t. So, on your billboard instead of bringing down some one, bring UP someone. :
”HIRE CHUCKY”.

I think I'll stop short of contributing money to help publicly excoriate someone who may be a decent person and seek their loss of income over how they coach a game.

I don't even think he's a good person...at a minimum he's 2 faced

 

[Cage1]

I have had to fire way too many decent people bc of their performance.

That's different. The Saints winning/losing has no pecuniary effect on me. If my income and ability to feed my family depended on the Saints winning, then I'd have no problem working toward his firing.

 

[Rexman100]

Awesome I'm in!

Change it to HIRE CHUCKY and I’m in. Did I mention this idea anywhere yet?

I don't know anything about that. If he's is a duplicitous, dishonest person, then yeah I'd feel a little different. I just seem him as pretty toothless and not really able to motivate/manage people.

Man have a little class. This is getting ridiculous. I think we should make a change but it's not like we just went 3-13.

Agreed. I would support a coaching change but this doesn't sit well with me. It comes off as classless and bratty.

I have had to fire way too many decent people bc of their performance. Being a decent person does not make them exempt from doing a terrible job. Especially if their job is performance based. has openly said at his initial hiring press conference, that all he has to do is “cook the turkey”. Those words, not anyone else’s, but his own. We didn’t get turkey, we got Tofurky. It’s not the same

Were you the one who hired them in the first place?

 

[Corey504]

I wonder how it feels to be public enemy number 1 with this fan base already after 9 and 8 albeit with an easy schedule. I'd hate to see what would happen if we had like 5 wins instead. I wouldn't personally want to put up billboards about someone, but you can't blame the fans too much when Micky has made bad decision after bad decision.

That was his second year as a first-time head coach, and this is Allen's second year as a two-time head coach.

Technically, I think he was an interim head coach in Miami, but I hear you. A stronger argument for Campbell is the weaker roster he inherited vs. DA.

It’s situational. Some managers don’t have the experience or they don’t feel comfortable, so I take it on myself, but have them there to understand how to go about it. However, if I am the person who did the initial interview/hiring, then yes, I will most definitely be the one who gives them the bad news. All of the expectations are laid out before hand. I leave it up to the person whether or not they want to be part of something. I give them mid-review periods and give them another 3 months to correct anything that needs to be corrected. Sometimes they do well, sometimes they shoot themselves in the foot. I give them all of the tools they need to be successful. What they do with that, is all on them.

Timing is downright terrible. If she want something like this, it should have happened during the season.

They went from 3-13-1 to 9-8... Context matters a lot here

Maybe you’re the one not properly performing your duties by selecting the wrong candidates in the first place?
