On the new HC search

Robert Saleh

What coup is he could bring him in.

I keep coming back to Ron Rivera. Maybe he’s just a name at this point but man he has some good defenses when that way his focus.

I think regardless of who they bring in for HC, you should expect a defensive staff reshuffle. Will need a DC, so the HC & DC will want to bring in their own people unless they have some ties to any of the current staff.

IMO, keeping Kubiak as OC will depend on who ends up as HC. I suspect an offensive minded HC would give Kubiak serious consideration but may lean towards bringing in someone to run their system. A defensive based HC will probably keep Kubiak and most of the guys under him

At one point I was in the "need an offensive minded guy..." club, but when I started actually looking at some of the success some of these DC's were having, I started being intrigued with some defensive guys that would let the OC do his thing. Similar to how DA let Pete & Kubiak run the offenses, problem was DA was overwhelmed and let the defense suffer while also being cap strapped due to Loomis and throwing the Brinks truck to get his QB.

I would take Saleh with Kubiak staying on in a heartbeat

So you want Saleh as head coach? Did you watch hard knocks?

He’s a younger version of Allen. Probably not that bad.

I feel like these threads are better when everybody writes in English.

After this Allen stint, I do not want another defensive minded HC. Give me an up and coming offensive minded guy.

Joe Brady and Ben Johnson are the top 2 in the betting odds, I would be happy with either of them.

I’m sure it was an exaggeration but comparing him to DA is crazy in my opinion lol

I did not watch hard knocks no. But I think the Jets created such a mess and distraction the jury is still out on what he could be in a good situation. I think I’d only want him as HC if Kubiak were to stay.

I just don’t fully believe the Jets mess was all his fault. But I do believe DA was the issue here.

All opinion I guess until either were to prove their numbers differently.

I mean kubiak is relatively new blood. I don’t think keeping him around past this year is a bad thing. I don’t want him as HC just yet but if he want to stay as oc and the new HC wants it then sure

If Jerry Jones fires Mike McCarthy where would he rank as potential HC for New Orleans?

I'll say it, I do not believe New Orleans can pull one of the top HC prospects like Johnson, Vrable or even Brady.

IMO the pool the Saints will be fishing in the pold where thery'll be guys like;

Kliff Kingsbury
Brian Flores
Aaron Glenn
Liam Coen
Mike McCarthy
Todd Monken
Darren Rizzi

My Wild Card is Bill Belichick. I know most would consider him THE top tier HC prospect to land in 2025 but at 72 I'm not sure he's what you look at to build your future around. However, he is exactly the person you look at if you want to totally overhaul your teams culture and bring order back to you lockerroom for a few years until you're ready to hire that future face of the franchise. I'm honestly not sure how I'd feel about Belichick getting the job, It would likely give me a little confidence boot that Bill looked at he roster and salary cap situation and said I can work with that.

But Belichick aside of the coaches listed above I'd want someone who is going to come in an have the same culture changing mentality and is vocal and commands respect. It's hard to look past Rizzi in that regard though I'm trying not to focus on him as the coach currently.
