My God, we are an impatient, cynical bunch.

SAINTS SIGN MIKE KAFKA AS HEAD COACH (AP MEWS) - lorem ipsum!



Just kidding. Doing it for the puckering.

Cmon Loomis, the combine is in two weeks…

 

[St. Geezy]

You guys really think Kellen Moore isn’t doing any work whatsoever as it relates to this job, all just because he hasn’t put pen to paper or had his media press conference yet?

Relax. I promise you this is one of the only things on his mind now that the game is over.

Losing prep time is a non-factor at this stage. The work isn’t not happening just because there hasn’t been a formal public rollout yet.

Cmon Loomis, the combine is in two weeks…

So?

If he signs tonight or Thursday even it won’t matter.

He just won a Super Bowl and is rightfully enjoying it for a day or two.

Some of you guys need to stop being so impatient. You’ve waited over a month already.

Contract negotiations phase

"Mickey Loomis has absolutely been following the NFL rules to the absolute T."

You hear that Roger, "to the T!" Please don't dock us any draft picks!!

It's hard to judge Moore because of the insane level of talent he has at his disposal.

The best offensive line in the league.

The best running back in the league.

A true #1 receiver in AJ Brown.

A true #2 maybe #1 on some teams in Smith.

A very good TE as well.

Pro bowl caliber QB in Hurts.

That's seriously game breaking amount of talent and he most likely will never have that level of talent ever again.

He could have most if not all of that in one offseason/draft.

Contract negotiations phase

So they're waiting until tomorrow? I'm sure he and his agent have seen the contract, which should be close to what the Jags new HC got.

Hey, everybody, he's telling us to ...

Yeah, the Brees years have turned many fans entitled. Could also be a generational thing. So many are used to Amazon prime and on demand watching they don’t know about just being patient and giving things a chance to simmer to let the flavors meld.

They also need to get off my lawn.

It is a generational thing but not in the way you might think.

Old Saints fans remember the pre-Payton and Brees era Saints.

It is 2025. It's been 19 years since the era of "aints". Nationally, the Saints are more successful to most young adults who watch football than the Cowboys.

A lot of people are simply not used to the Saints being a bad football team. Even outside of Saints forums, I saw countless comments from people who are fans of other teams going "the Saints used to be feared, what happened?"

A lot of people have simply forgotten what being a genuinely bad football team looked and felt like, and are desperate to get back to no longer having that feeling.

$10M/yr is what I projected yesterday based on what Mike McDonald got last year. A $60M/6 year deal would be nice and give him a few year grace period to build the team he wants.
