Per Nick Underhill. Its a done deal.

It was a great 16 year run. It sucks but what are you going to do. That's a long time for any coach.

No one wants anything to do with the mess that the Saints have created.

Wow. He didn't have the best luck in the postseason but yeah he was a great coach. He absolutely dominated my team 2x a year for most of the last decade.

It's been a great run.

Good luck Sean! Will always love what you did for my favorite football team.

Guarantee the Saints go from committing the most penalties to top 5 in terms of least penalized team with him gone. League always had it out for him.

I think the Dolphins game this year was the final straw for him and the league.

He was made a bounty scapegoat/villain for no reason

The no call

The penalty discrepancies the last few seasons

MT and Jameis injuries this year, then still have a chance at playoffs pushed down the drain due to bullshite Covid testing that gets changed the day after the game. Just emotionally spent, you could hear his anger and vitriol at the league in every statement

A bit surprising I would have thought Sean had a chip on his shoulder to prove he could win without Brees. Imagine he grew tired of dealing with the Mike Thomas types. Good luck Coach.

This isn't a political jab at anyone. But rather this is me right now.

Does coach O have to pay LSU back some portion of his buyout if he takes the job?

Coach O to the Saints!

This is the old; I love the team I'm with, but want to be with another team, but they have a coach and I'm not going to cause him to be fired so I will retire for a couple of years then say that it's because I just love the game too much maneuver.
