So…How Hot Is Dennis Allen’s Seat? (1 Viewer)

[mrs saintsation]

Fans dictate how soon Allen will remain as head coach. Stop confusing fan loyalty and relevant fan disgruntlement. We have to stop showing up and spending our money. Let the home games be filled with opposing fans in those seats. I bet that'll make them take notice. You mess up the bottom line and make them look bad, something will give.

Come on now. We didn't have a starting QB when DA got the job. He inherited Winston and got Dalton as the backup. Of course there were going to be some personnel changes over the course of 3 years, there is on every team every season. But don't pretend the team and the coaching staff weren't the exact same minus Payton his first year. He didn't fill it in with his guys. The second year either. Only this offseason was there any really changes made. Those are Loomis choices.

But whatever, I don't even think DA is a good head coach. He's a fine DC, but not a HC.

I'm not sure he's even a "fine" defensive coordinator. I think he's a middling DC at best. This season, in particular, he has very little depth and they're on the field a lot. But I have watched this team for years under DA make the same bonehead mistakes on defense, that more often than not, costs games in the fourth quarter. The KC game was the third in a row where a shallow cross goes for about 60 yards. Historically, there are untimely PI penalties, the D-lineman incessantly rush past the QB, poor tackling, hitting a RB in the backfield or at the line, but still ending up in a 4 yard gain, poor angles of pursuit, ineffective blitzes. They seem to have poor situational awareness and lack of details and low energy at times. DA wants to play bully ball on D but doesn't really have the horses to do that. Tough to want to play like the 90's Ravens without Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs type players. And maybe they could have that type of player with better coaching. It is very difficult to watch this team over the years commit the same defensive atrocities without concluding a coaching deficiency.

He has the safest seat in the NFL. Im sure upper management and ownership is asking DA if his seat is comfortable enough.

Besides the Saints will get hot in the back end of the season. Which will bring optimism

I'd fire him, then I'd hire him again just so I could fire him again.

not hot enough because he still has a job that is performed by script. Zero ingenuity.

If Allen's seat is hot, Mickey's should be hotter. Loomis is the architect of this thin roster. If you expect to be competitive in the NFL, you have to have quality depth.

 

[Snakehead]

It's not.

This is Loo relaxing the deer.

After the season, yes. Right now, no.

Loomis doesn't want to be bothered with the amount of work replacing Allen right now would create.

This schedule doesn’t have 4 cupcake games out of 5 to close the season. I’m not even counting the Giants as a victory. The only game I’m confident in is against the Raiders. Bucs, Packers, Washington, and the even the Rams all pose threats. Our coach may be trembling when he sees McVay on the opposite sidelines again.

His seat is warm. If he has less than 6 wins by the bye week he will be terminated then. I know we have injuries but the measuring stick is wins and he he has had enough time to field a winner.

Depends if it is an actual seat probably warm, if it is a toilet seat like this season is going probably pretty cold with all the water splashing up.

 

[Saint KayBee]

Not at all.
Mickey suggests patience. He sees a team decimated by injuries that was a score off from winning week 3 and 4 and was down by 3 going into the 4th quarter against the 2x defending champions.

If we rebound when players come back he will say he had the patience to see it through and he was right.

If at the years end our record is atrocious he will say that we need to review the team etc.

At that point the seat may be on fire.. but not till after the season.

Finally, reason enters this thread
