Nick Underhill: Saints Might Not Move on from DA (1 Viewer)

[DSnfla]

Um when we won 4 of 5 last year, who did we beat? Tommy Devito, Desmond Ridder, Bryce Young and Baker Mayfield. 2 of those teams fired their coaches they were so bad and the Giants won like 4 or 5 games. Sure the Bucs were an okay win but they were still average at best. My point still stands that DA doesn't beat good teams.

I love how everyone says ''Oh, look this great coach has a bad start to this season after going to 2 super bowls recently". Yeah Kyle Shanahan deserves the benefit of the doubt. DA doesnt because he hasn't proven anything besides being a top 5 worst coach of all time and being 18-24 with the Saints before you say his Raider stint doesn't count.

And also, the 9ers have just as many excuses as us and are 4-4.........so yeah alot different than 2-6.

LOL , So what?? It makes no difference who we beat, a win is a win and we play 2 of those same QB's again. You might also want to check the scores of those 4 out of 5 wins, we blew those teams out. Isn't that what a good team does?? Blow out a weaker opponent? And 1 of them was the division winner.
Shanny also has had the luxury of not missing his starting QB for 4 games , he also had most of his starting OL
You are also forgetting what we did in the 1st 2 games when we were healthy , but why let facts get in the way of a distorted narrative

For you or any true Saints fan to think and hope for us to get blown out, you really should be called out on this. ESPECIALLY with 9 games to go in the season. It just disgusting

There's no light at the end of the tunnel with this coaching staff to lead this team in any way, all i can hope for is DA and company to be let go and a high draft pick. The season is over how you don't see it?

I assume you are talking about Chase Young. There were a number of Guards in FA who signed for more money than Chase Young, twice as much in some cases. So for a Rusher who was the No.2 pick in the draft, $10m really was a bargain bin signing and showed what the rest of the league thought of him.

I feel like the Saints are one of those shows where guys hit a Junkyard for parts to build a vehicle from scratch.

eg
14 Mar 2024 — Signings. Guard Robert Hunt, 5-year, $100 million contract. Guard Damien Lewis, 4-year, $53 million contract.

Yep Young is going to ride that #2 draft pick all the way to the bank again and to another team in 2025--looks like tarzan, plays like Jane----Should trade tomorrow after lose to Panthers.

Shanahan offense doesn't work unless you run the football well. So I assume if DA is fired and the Saints wants to retain the hottest offensive system currently in football, you have to retool that O.line as much as possible.

needs to be blown up--sorry for the dose of reality. Culture at this point and time is poor and trending downward --one of the oldest roster in the league

We were the most pessimistic fan base coming into this garbage season lol.. hmm Wonder why that was

It's actually sort of interesting that Dallas is right down there at the bottom too as we have sort of a similar-ish GM situation in Loomis here.

For sure. I thought just the other day that we are now the Cowboys.
Leadership making terrible moves and doubling down on them
Because they don’t like criticism. Accountable to no one.
Totally hopeless.

No room for context, above is an absolute brain dead take.....one of the weakest schedules in NFL history, in the worst division in the NFL, played numerous backup QB's and still couldn't beat a quality team to get to the playoffs.....

Don't look now, but some of us took that as a hint that maybe DA was an abject failure as a HC, this season has cemented that.....

All one has to do is look at his record in close games and/or against quality opponents.....it's strikingly abysmal, if you don't realize that then you are delusional.....

I pray that they dont use the ”injuries” as a reason to keep DA for another year, but i think they might. I was a DA supporter year 1, but its crystal clear that his best role is as a coordinator only. I think DA’s major malfunction is his eye for details & the ability to hold people accountable. I also question his ability to build a team & identify talent at certain positions. Instead if being a true Godfather to his mob, DA’s like a stepdad to kids that smile in his face, then spit in his food when he’s not looking.

I mean, a players only meeting? Then you have the comments from last season implying that the players played for each other, rather than the coaches. It’s like having a family member that everyone loves, but everyone talks about how utterly crap they are behind their back. I know how beloved DA is in that building, but unlike actual family, you can fire him for not being on the level.

I think it’s time for a change, but i wouldnt be surprised even a lick if DA was our coach in 2025. Another year & a half of DA at the helm kills me inside, but i think he’d be playing on his last life. At that point we’d certainly be looking at yet another lost season filled w/disappointment. Only positive about that would be in 26, we’ll have a chance at Arch Manning, Nico Imaleava, or Dylan Raiola. If we do retain DA, it’s something to look forward to.

I was on the fence about DA - feeling like he had shown that we can be really good when healthy but I’m off the fence, he’s got to go.

Today he chose letting a shaky defense defend the field instead of going for 4th and inches with Taysom who has been unstoppable today. Then just terrible clock management in the end.

 

[Saint Jack]

There is no way you can keep Allen now.

 

[picnicwithfish]

There is no way you can keep Allen now.

Sure there is. Maybe his goal is to secure the number 1 overall pick in the draft? If so, he is crushing it… lol

 

[NEBaghead]

I can’t believe this. DA has to be fired.

 

[6314eva]

Fire DA….this is embarrassing and lack of action from Mickey is a slap in the face to this city and its fan base. This city and region has been absolutely the epitome of loyal to this team and organization and we deserve better!
