The reason that DA has not fired Carmichael is because Carmichael is his fall back fire.

Carmichael should do this franchise a solid and just resign. He has basically stolen a pay check for the last 2 years.

Carmichael has been with the Saints since 2006. If he resigns, he has to find a new place to live. Rare for a coach to stay in one area for that long.

Now, I have no problem with him being fired.

This is 100% correct, a Carmichael fire today puts the rest of the year on Allen. A Carmichael fire in January buys Allen another year.

Lol, no. If the offense is still struggling in two weeks, which it will, then Pete will be gone. If not, DA is still gone if we miss the playoffs with how easy of a schedule we’ve had. If DA is still here after the season and we miss the playoffs, then Loomis, Ireland and company would be putting THEIR jobs at risk. Mickey ain’t doing that

Fire them both.

If the Saints don’t make the playoffs, they need to fire everyone including Loomis. Start with new GM and go from there.

I believe that this is what Allen is thinking, but the expectations were too high and the division too weak… if we don’t make the playoffs, there’s no saving either man’s job.
