What does the future look like for the Saints when the regular season is over?
By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI
At 5-9, the Saints season is almost all but over. There's some crazy and unrealistic scenario out there in which they can take the NFC South, but let's face it. It's not going to happen. Even when the regular season is over for New Orleans, there's a lot to look forward to and it will be fascinating to follow. Here's what I mean.
What Awaits the Saints This Offseason:
Staff Turnover
It might not happen until a new coach is in place, but everyone is coaching for their job or auditioning for the next one. A lot hinges on the direction New Orleans will go, but we could be looking at a completely new staff from top to bottom. A new coach will want to bring in their own guys typically, and the Saints might be starting from scratch again. There's some pieces that the team should keep, but there's no guarantees at this point.
Hiring A New Head Coach
This will be the top priority for the Saints. Hopefully, there's plenty of candidates that New Orleans will interview. There could be as many as 10 openings this offseason. Some are already open and many more will come. There's always that surprise firing too. Is Mickey Loomis the GM to work in tandem with the new coach? That's another area we'll just have to wait and see.
