Saints fired OC Pete Carmichael (4 Viewers)

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Sure, and I was just using yours bc it reminded me of all the posters who were certain of X bc ML or DA said something about the direction of the team before the season was over
I just felt there was no way ML was going to signal anything specific one way or another before he had to

Bringing Gruden in will be the worst thing Allen will have to deal with.

I have no idea how a SB winning head coach can swallow their pride to the point of working for one of the worst HCs of all time.

And secondly, Allen cannot deal with an Alpha below him. He needs betas to keep his beta beta'ing.

Theyll be chanting "We want Chucky" from every section in the Superdome starting the first preseason game.

Id take Gruden as a HC. Gruden as an OC is setting himself up for failure working under a incompetent HC, and will undercut Allen just being on the sideline. You have this guy with a career .343 win % at 70 games, with a guy who won a SB and has a career win % at .511 at 229 games UNDER him.

It would have to be a Ditka and Ryan situation, where its agreed that Ditka did not meddle at all with Ryan and his defense.

It does not check out.

Not that hard to swallow your pride when you are unemployed.

Feel sorry for the guy. The organization set him up for failure as he didn’t even want the promotion lol. Hopefully Payton picks him up.

Eager to see who the team interviews for this position.

Not enthused about Gruden taking the job - both for his off-color remarks about people and how I feel he’d run a modern NFL offense.

Also not enthused about any sort of promotion from within - Marrone doesn’t inspire the type of innovation I think this team needs, and I don’t think Curry is ready yet. Between the two, I’d be happier with Curry getting the opportunity, because I think he has more of a capacity to prove me wrong and really get some fun and productive ideas out.

Let’s see what happens.

Yay!!! So now we have to suffer again through Carr's learning the playback and throwing WRs hospital balls and under the table again. This time since we have a waaaaaaay tougher schedule..he won't wait til halftime to get injured. He will feign injury in the 1st quarter!!!!!

I know it is top heavy, but we have the easiest schedule in the league again, for what it's worth.

 

[Rouxble]

LOL, Carr strikes again!

Serial killer.

I knew it would get said at some point.

 

[lurking around]

Eric Bienemy may be an option.

Timing sorta odd. Nine days to figure out who gets fired?

 

[Saint KayBee]

Does Scott know something we don’t, because I only recall three: Raiders and Dolphins in 2012, and Bears in 2013

I knew it would get said at some point.

The good news is next year Carr can use his, "well its a new system" excuse.

DA your next on his hit list, enjoy your last year as HC.

Took 10 days to fire Gary Gibbs in 2008. They usually take this first week after the season off, and yesterday was a holiday, today is their first day reconvening.

I would assume he knows lots that we do not. He was part of the organization.

A new Saints offense era has begun

Doug Marrone should have been fired as well.
