Scott Linehan joining Saints coaching staff (15 Viewers)

[Saints 318]

Elite coaching staff so far

 

[Mamba]

CKM has got almost every #1 candidate that he wanted on his staff per Ross Jackson. He’s doing work

Terrific. Another acronym.

 

[GameBreaker]

I remember when Linehan was the #1 coach you could hire in the offseason in Madden '01 Franchise Mode.

If Moore hast the same acumen that Payton has, I think he will end up a better coach for New Orleans because he doesn't have the prickly pettiness that Payton has which burned a lot of bridges for Payton, especially with the league offices and referees.

Moore better get prickly quick because I don’t know if you’ve noticed but apparently the leagues dislike of the Saints didn’t leave with Payton. So Moore is going to experience some of the same things from the league and officials that pushed Payton to want to quit.

So he's CSP without the chip on his shoulder, so he's Sean McVay?

He’s also from where CKM is from. Well the two towns are about 20 minutes from each other and about 30 minutes from me.

Another veteran set of eyes on offense is a good thing.

And these coaches have seen a lot of young QBs. Maybe they can bring some talent with them or choose a good prospect in the draft.

He doesn’t have that “punchable” face that McVay has however.

Moore's Vandalizing the Saints. I guess that's better than bringing in a bunch of Visigoths.

The Vandals are historically good on the road.

Well, they both have rings. So, that works for me.

 

[TalleyHo1]

Agreed

 

[texasjefe]

Oh, but if they don't hurry up and hire a head coach, he'll never be able to hire any good assistants

 

[El Caliente]

At all comes full circle.

When Sean Payton was hired, Scott Linehan was one of the top head coaching candidates (I believe he was 1a and Brad Childress was 1b in that hiring cycle). Now Linehan has finally arrived in New Orleans 20 years later as an analyst.
