Important news for the #Saints : Pete Carmichael will stay as the offensive coordinator, source said. The team did several OC interviews, but came back to the best option being on their staff. More continuity in NO for coach Dennis Allen.

so 7-9 for the next 3-5 yrs

jim haslett 2.0

it will soon come out that gruden said no because DA said he couldnt change any of the coaching staff or players and wanted everything to stay exactly the same pretending payton never left.

DA thinks he can win by turning on the cruise control and everything will be just fine

The whole Carmichael situation has been very odd.

Didn't want to interview for the HC gig. Didn't want the OC gig, even though he'd been groomed for it for almost 20 years and was the obvious choice.

Saints interview a bunch of guys, now he's taking the job.

I kinda thought this was the obvious choice all along, and im not sure why it wasnt almost automatic like the promotion of DA was.. PC has been w/the Saints forever, and part of some of the most prolific offenses in the history of the NFL .

I can’t say I love this. I just wanted some fresh eyes on the offense. Feels like we’re just gonna resign Jameis, draft a guard in the first, a CB in the second and a Nick Toon clone in the third and run it back, going 6-11.

The saints will be better next year with Pete Carmichael calling the plays. I honestly thought he should have called the plays for the last couple of years under Shaun. The dude has earned this chance....

Underhill's take:

@nick_underhill·14m
Can confirm that Pete Carmichael is remaining as offensive coordinator. The man who knows this offense best will now oversee it.

@nick_underhill·4m
You guys can’t spend 12 months complaining about the personnel and then not acknowledge the role of that personnel in your evaluations.

Ultimately, the success and failure of the offense is going to be primarily determined by what players the team acquires.

Bill Walsh could call plays and if they don’t have better players than last year it won’t matter.

Carmichael will be fine if the roster is solid.

I wish we’d go back to being a ground and pound team with good PA. The 49ers offense with that solid defense is great.

Some of you forget games where Pete was the sole caller of plays with NFL caliber players and not Best Buy employees and it shows. There were times where Payton would become too predictable or stubborn. In games Pete has called the plays, with NFL starter talent, the offense has rolled.

Great. Now fix the skill positions. They're awful.

This seems like…”Hey, we really don’t want you to be the OC but we really can’t find anyone else. You want to do it again?”

not against it but feels weird. saints have underachieved last few years. lose payton and presumably need a new approach and the DC is promoted and same OC.

I feel like we’re going to get a rigged super bowl in our favor very quickly. It was always about Payton with Goodell. The team, city, and roster have been on our wokest behavior last few years. Even our recent battery arrest wasn’t of the domestic variety. Let’s go!!
