Days after letting Nielsen go to the falcons. This Franchise gets more embarrassing every single day.


quote:

The #Saints  parted ways with co-defensive coordinator/secondary Kris Richard, sources tell me and @RapSheet. New Orleans' other co-DC, Ryan Nielsen, recently took the DC job in Atlanta. Significant changes on D.

the only functional part of the team was defense, so they jettison everyone on that side.

It’s clear to me, Payton carried this franchise. The amount of stupid things done in one season since he left has surpassed the 15 seasons prior. It’s just embarrassing at this point. I used to think Loomis knew what he was doing but seems like he just got lucky with Payton.

It's also the side that Allen is competent at, so maybe this is the right move.

Yeah but you don’t make a change on offense and you do make a change on defense? That makes no sense considering our defense carried us.

I wish we could have kept Nielsen in hindsight.

He didn't move on from Richard till today. Pete could be tomorrow.

I wish we could end up with Greg Olson at OC and Steve wilks at DC

If you got to New Orleans after the GW Bush administration, rent your home.

Truly a good ole boys organization now, run by a group of buddies.

Yup, this is the kind of shite Payton would’ve handled and avoided with a clear direction at seasons end. Payton found a way to keep Nielsen away from LSU after he accepted.

It’s a clown show worthy of you not renewing and moving the team.

I honestly have no clue what this team is doing.

Though with the defense it’s clear Dennis Allen still runs it so it’s whatever I guess

Of course we fire the one guy that seems like a competent coach.

how would you know that? It’s Allen’s defense and Nielsen was the main guy behind him

WTF?!?!?! Defense didn't set records this year but they sure were a hell of a lot better than our offense even without Lattimore for a lot of games, Adebo for several games, Maye, Davenport, Werner, and Turner being a healthy scratch. And fricking somehow Carmichael is still employed?!?!?!

Faux outrage [ON] OFF

Having co defensive coordinators at the NFL level tells you all you need to know about who was calling the show. And he’s still employed

Whatever. Hire Rob Ryan again to help the tank.
