NFL insider’s notes on Saints: Latest on search for new head coach and questions around GM Mike Loomis’s future

The New Orleans Saints are just one of many teams in the market for a new head coach after firing Dennis Allen nine games into the season.

This is (or would be, if true) Jerry Jones level of meddling.

I don't have an issue with hiring Glenn. Not my first choice, but I don't think it would be a terrible hire. But, if they hire him because or with the requirement that he keep certain coaches that would be a dumb move.

That being said what is Sportskeeda.com and who is Tony Pauline?

 

[Zaphod]

I’d prefer someone with zero ties to the organization

 

[Nolan]

LOL.

"would be open to keeping the coaches Loomis wants retained..."

I don't know who is reporting this, but if true.. the cringe continues. Head coaches are allowed full autonomy in selecting their staff.

 

[kewee]

I'm so tired of Loomis

Nothing changes if nothing changes. This is the running it back scenario. Only upside I see to this is it is the way to keep Kubiak as OC. But it also means those older players and bad contracts aren't going to be cleaned up and it will be mostly the same roster next season. I'd love to start new but it sounds like Loomis isn't going to let that happen.

God I hope this is false. Or I hope Mrs. Benson reads it and says with a loud voice "Nope!"

 

[Rouxble]

One thing to be open to keeping coaches (versus just firing everyone), another to be forced to keep certain coaches whether the head coach believes it is best for the team or not. I would like to believe it is the former instead of the latter.

 

[longtime lurker]

Who knows if this has any merit to it or not but if so what coaches would he want to keep?

 

[Booker]

What an uninspiring hire that would be. Ugh.

This x 1000. If this is true we are in a lot worse shape than I’ve ever imagined.

I think even getting involved or having input on staff selection is kind of out of pocket for a GM. Like why on earth would Loomis have motive to want to keep any of these guys on our staff?

The process should be, we hire a head coach who we believe in, and we let him select his staff. It's unheard of for a GM to say "it'd be really nice if you kept these guys on" kinda thing.

Jahri Evans and Brian Young, so the Saints can keep developing their former players as future coaches.

Everyone else can be interviewed.

 

[Elvis]

Then we have to hope Glenn doesn’t get the job. The team needs massive changes, not move from DA to Rizzi to Glenn and nothing else changes.

“The belief is…”. Well, whose belief? Might be true, might not be. Not putting much credence in this article.
