Who’s the Saints interim HC if/when a firing occurs? (1 Viewer)

[ETWhoDat]

Also on board with Rizzi. Every time I see him on the sideline I get amped. Dude has passion and energy and it’s infectious a la Dan Campbell.

Ben Johnson

Can't get Campbell, minus well pluck someone from his coaching tree.

I'm not sure I like the idea, but I would bet that Aaron Glenn would get another interview and he may be ready to be HC. I'd rather Ben Johnson, but I'm not sure what kept him in Detroit this year.

Rizzi or Klint.

I’m keeping a close eye on KK. He may have a future with us.

As others have said, make Rizzi interim. He’s been a finalist for 2 HC jobs and is super respected by players and throughout the league. He would probably be the only guy that could improve the W/L record this year.

Let Kubiak focus on the offense and seeing what Rattler has over a big sample of games.

Ideally Loomis would promote himself and hire a real Football guy as GM and let that person lead a totally real and open HC search and let the chips fall where they may.

My concern if Kubiak was promoted midseason is the added responsibility could hamper the ongoing development of the offense. Injuries have created an obstacle to success and I don’t think his longterm value to the team is established, yet. Two great games but since then, the picture is less clear. Promoting him now could just set him up to be a lame duck.

Rizzi. Players respect him and he has emotion.

Let kk focus on offense and woods finally be a DC not a shadow DC.

I think Rizzi is the best option. Frankly while I think Kubiak is a good OC, I'm not sure he has the personality to be a Head Coach. By his own admission, he has a boring personality and I think in the modern NFL you need a guy with fire to motivate players. The talent level is so close across the league that you either have to be a genius on one side of the ball or a great motivator. And KK is a good OC, but he doesn't appear to be an offensive genius.

I think DA has at least to the bye week before his job is really in danger during the season. I don't expect things to change and I would make the change now, but I would think Loomis would wait until the bye week to give the interim coach more time to organize things before the next game.

If they don't pull the trigger during the mini-bye. There is probably no point in pulling it in week 12 with a probably 4-8 record.

Right. I definitely wouldn’t expect a change on a short week.

I’ve been patient and hopeful about Allen but it’s clear it’s just not working. I like to see people succeed so I hate it for him.

I don't care if Loomis keeps the GM job or not, but they have to get better at scouting college players and drafting. Whether that means new scouting and personnel guys under Loomis or Loomis moves up and brings in a new GM I don't care. I think some of the problem is that for better or worse, Loomis relied on Payton to make the final personnel decisions and he's given DA some of that power and he is not good at it.

 

[St. Geezy]

I’d definitely be okay with Rizzi. Something about the guy. Think he’d make a great “leader of men” type HC.

Yeah. I thought DA should have been let go after the first year and after last year, but I'm not someone who is going to constantly call for him to be fired once the season starts. But at this point there is just no reason to give him more chances or time. He has the QB, coaches, and team he asked for that was built over 3 years. It's not going to work with him. I

I hate to call for anyone to lose their job and I'm not going to participate in the personal attacks on him when he's just a football coach and he's a human being, but it is long since time that he should have gone.
