Everyone that thinks no young coach will want to come here because of the cap situation needs to step back & consider other things before declaring New Orleans hopeless---we have an owner & GM that gives head coaches a fair opportunity (that's never more evident than now), and they are both largely hands off. Huge reason why CSP stuck around longer than most coaches do.
 
My suggestion would be Joe Brady who is currently the Bills OC. I like what he did with Joe Burrow at LSU and we need an innovative young mind.
 
Thing is I don't think it will be any of those guys. I predict we get another year of DA.

Also, I wouldn’t discount a potential coach wanting to follow Payton and potentially beating his franchise records.
 
Ben Johnson. I really think it needs to be an offensive head coach next time. I’m seeing Joe Brady. Would he be mentioned here if he won the NC with anyone other than LSU? I would’ve been good with Bienemy last time but now..Do we really want the OC of an offense ranked lower than ours in every category? No retreads so no Gruden. I think we’re going with a young, successful OC.
 
This gets repeated way too often here and it couldn’t be further from the truth. There are only 32 of these jobs, and most young coaches are thrilled at the prospect of ANY HC offer they land, especially when you factor in the life-changing money involved.
THIS. Are there really any “young coaches” who will say, “Nah, I’m waiting for the KC job to open up.” NO. NO ONE.

A new coach should be allowed time to develop his team. If he knows he has 3-4 years to show success, he will sign. Head coaching jobs are very hard to come by.
 
Eric Bieniemy and hear me out because the reasoning is full-proof and has nothing to do with football.

The Saints are out-of-favor with the head of the family (Goodell) and have been for a long time. The only way to regain favor is through a humiliation ritual that benefits the family by clearing its name.

So the Saints break the gross trend that is fake-interviewing Bieniemy, hire the guy (he can't be worse than DA), and the NFL blesses the team with something far more valuable than elite coaching: favorable refereeing.

With these back pocket calls in hand, Bieniemy easily leads the team to the top of the division and makes the team look like progressive geniuses. The NFL gets a heartwarming story to attach to a small-market team and the Saints get to have the playoff level team the players deserve to be. And hey, Bieniemy gets his shot at a head coach role.

Everyone is a winner, and deals where everyone is a winner tend to consummate!
 
I can't vote. Too hard to say. Carr has looked terrible and we are in cap hell with an old roster. It's not the most attractive job and whomever we hire will need 2-3 years to really see what they can do.
Carr has not looked terrible. He’s actually looked decent, which is why everyone should stop assuming no coach will want to come here.

A Ben Johnson could absolutely win with the Carr we’ve seen the last two weeks and would see this roster as workable compared to several other open jobs

The problem is we aren’t going to fire Allen.
