Can anyone tell me how Pete Carmichael coached the saints offense to a top 3 ranking in 2012?? I know we had good players including Brees . So seems to me it more of a roster situation than coaching. Hint the GM needs to go.

easy, he didnt, he was OC in name only because payton was the OC/HC. i think pete was nothing more than a glorified yes man assistant coach under payton even though he held the OC title

Carmichael was managing the team but by then the system was running itself.

Brees had a big hand in offensive planning and play calling iirc though he says he was still just the QB.

Carmichael's claim to fame was QB coach. Which I contend he did a fine job at when that's what he was able to focus on. He was never an in game manager and his deficiencies showed once the spotlight was on him after CSP left.

Brees is among the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He made lots of guys look better than they are
