Saints fired OC Pete Carmichael (2 Viewers)

[schuetter]

He’ll head to Denver as an analyst.

Doug Marrone should have been fired as well.

the o line improved and finished strong. dont know if marrone should be cannned

 

[St. Geezy]

Doug Marrone didn’t suddenly forget how to coach.

I think some of you guys just want heads to roll without fully understanding what goes into these positions, whose fault is what, etc.

What if behind the scenes Marrone hated what PC’s protection schemes were like? What if behind the scenes Marrone was the one that finally got PC to allow him to put who he wanted out there and that’s when we saw Peat do his thing at LT?

Just because a unit struggled doesn’t necessarily mean a position coach was doing a bad job, and just because a unit puts up good stats doesn’t mean their coach was doing a good job.

Eric Bienemy may be an option.

If they don’t block him.

Well Scott there is something like seven head coaching jobs now open. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Pete gets an interview for a head job. Seriously I doubt he’d even consider a HC interview, but it sounds Ike he has accumulated a lot of respect throughout the league. I’m guessing he either retires or ends up back on Sean Payton’s staff.

How? EVERYONE thought he should be fired. This is Allen doing the right thing.

Pete being gone is the right thing.
Allen should also be gone.

Pete being gone is the right thing.
Allen should also be gone.

Maybe, but since that isn't going to happen this year, let's celebrate them getting this right.

PC packed and ready for Denver...

But you still have to ask the question, "why did the O-line suck so bad at the beginning of the season?" Because it wasn't just Penning. And about Penning, is his lack of development on him, or the coaching staff?

I wanna apply as a moderator, just so I can end all these attacks on players and coaches. Flame away if you like but we have rules on this forum about attacking players and coaches.

Too my knowledge no one on this board works in the NFL. None of us have a clue what it takes to coach an NFL franchise or run it. We are all just fans that think we know what the heck we are talking about.

These players and coaches are humans not just a name, show a little class.

Coach Payton staff is leaving before I very eyes. I think he knew DA would be gone soon and made an early move. Da would be next.

 

[Snakehead]

I know there are some hoping for Gruden, but I just don't see DA bringing in a personality so much larger than his own if he has any say in it. Gruden would eat him alive in terms of credibility and respect in the locker room. Gruden is a leader, not a subordinate and he would take over almost immediately.

It depends on Gruden and how he can navigate that situation. I was weather in the AF and still work in the field, but civil service now. Most weather people especially ones in the AF are ISTJ's, it's about 70%. I'm an ENFP and many times I overshadowed my Flight Commander or Squadron Commander depending on the position I had at the time, but in those positions I would step back or step up depending on the situation. It was a way to compliment the not so dynamic leaders without taking over for them. It also allowed our team/unit/organization to know who had final say and was in charge. It's not easy to do and it came from years of practice as I know I didn't do that early in my career, but it was something I learned with self awareness and experience.

Do I remember correctly that Carmichael didn't want to be the OC this year? Maybe he phoned it in this to get fired.

Who is Bob Bicknell?

If only it was code for Dennis Allen.
