I know things have been better for the last couple of years but we can do better.
Mickey Loomis is a man who has trust of Mr. And Ms. Benson and he has global responsibilities with both Saints and Pelicans. He has to focus on the big picture.
In my opinion, he and Sean Payton are too close, and while mostly good, a little disagreement is always better.
On the administrative side, Khai Hartley is doing well. Ireland is improving college scouting, and I think Fontenot is fine but can do better. They should stay at their place.
So independently if Sean stays, I wish we would have an experience General Manager to make the difficult questions about personnel, coaching staff and the recurrent problems we see towards depth and general health of the team.
My pick would be Scott Pioli, who is part of the now legendary Cleveland staff, went to New England, moved to Kansas City and is now in Atlanta.
Many of you would consider his time with the Chiefs a failure. He missed to bring a quarterback but look at the players he drafted. Look also how Atlanta's talent has improved since he is there. Stealing him from the falcons is a double whammy.
Finally, on the social side, he is the son in law of Bill Parcells.
Having Pioli as our de facto General Manager would be a great addition, and would us better prepared for the future, not matter the path Sean Payton would take.
