If the saints are fighting this hard to keep him you gotta believe the guy is a home run hire. Everything I’ve heard from Saints beat writers about him is great. He’s done a great job with the Saints D Line.

I personally believe the saints wanted to keep him as their next D Coordinator when Dennis Allen got another head coaching job. The saints fighting this has got to excite LSU fans about the potential.

I don’t disagree, but I can’t imagine it being that hard to pull him from LSU DC to come be DC for the Saints, right? They should stop being so lame if that is their end game and just offer him when they’re ready.

To me, this has more to do with what happened with Brady than anything.

He leaves for a college job, helps win a NC, and then heads back to the NFL as OC of a division rival.

Maybe Loomis is trying to prevent a repeat.

Nielsen is the Saints insurance policy if Allen bolts for a HC position.

The analogy of what happened with Brady heading to the NFL is spot on.

Some Saints fans wonder why LSU fans can hate the Saints. Screw the Saints.

I like it but I don't like it, once they go pro it seems like that's where they want to be like brady. If we do get him when does he leave for a pro job?

They aren't fighting to keep him. They're making sure his contract prevents him from going to a division opponent if he comes back to the NFL sooner than expected. Like Brady did.

Here comes a bunch of pussys to cry about Ed knowing him

We could replace Bill Busch with Pete Carroll and they’d whine because they coached together

CSP hates LSU, but Ed O loves the Saints.

Considering we just had one of if not the worst defensive performances in program history, ANY hire would be a home run hire.

That said, I like and want Nielsen as DC.

I think the Saints are fighting harder due to what happened with Brady more than to keep Nielsen. Not taking anything away from him. He may be the D version of Brady. But the Saints have to protect themselves from getting double burnt

As an LSU fan this makes me dislike the Saints.

It will excite me if they actually sign him. If it drags on in the courts over his contract with the Saints and we end up not getting him it will be disaster. Why is it we don't know about these things beforehand? Why do we only end up with two candidates for major positions and if they fall through we have nothing? As many millions as the Athletic Dept. has in it's budget and as many people as they employ, shouldn't they always have a list of up and coming coaches that they constantly evaluate and update? Shouldn't they know which ones are viable and which are not?
