re: where the saints went wrong

on the gm side of things.

We've fixed most of the problems that you listed, & some of them aren't even problems

quote:

---

1.Keeping coordinators way to long just because we won a superbowl.

---

Obviously, you're talking DC's. We've hired Rob Ryan & Dennis Allen since then. You can make a case that Allen isn't the guy for the job & that would be a legit complaint imo.

quote:

---

2.overspending on free agents instead of paying our guys to stay.

---

We overspent on free agents & overspent on our own players. It's been pretty good since Ireland has been here though.

quote:

---

3. not firing the scouting department,because we suck at drafting defense and free agent scouting.

---

We cleaned house with the scouting department. Your comment is inaccurate.

quote:

---

4. adding running backs and drafting running backs,drafting backups qbs and backup receivers when we had pieces in place but ,let them go instead of paying them.

---

Not really sure what to say to this. QB, RB, & WR are the least of our concerns. The contracts are also good value.

quote:

---

5. Every draft pick should of been defense untill issue was fix.

---

We've drafted a ton of defense.

quote:

---

6. Every free agent signing should of been o linemen untill issue was fix.

---

We traded for Unger, signed Warford, & used 2 1st round draft picks on the O-Line. We've invested plenty here.

quote:

---

7. Not hiring good proven coordinators and getting rid of steve spagnola way too soon. Especially given the bad circumstance he was given.

---

Not really sure what to say about Spagnola. You can make a case against Allen if you want.

quote:

---

8.not getting a new head coach and staff after the bounty gate scenario.Coach Payton made us loose draft picks because of his oversight.

---

Besides having Allen as our DC & the Fleener contract...I really don't see how someone could complain. I refuse to be on the 'fire CSP train' after just 1 game. Some people are all aboard it seems.
