Would ya'll like Dennis Allen and Pete Carmichael?

I’d take Allen. You have to ride this defense until you can’t. I wouldn’t go all in on a big time coach until it’s time for a rebuild. And honestly if we promote Ireland and keep Allen he could be our guy for a long time.

I’d like a real search. I actually think this is a good time to bring in someone new and not just grasp at the last remnants of the old regime.

We have assets so it’s not a full rebuild by any means and I think a new set of eyes may be the key to getting over the hump.

Allen did fine against a stacked deck.
There is something to be said for continuity.
Petey is due to be in full control of an Offense.

I think Carmichael is more important than Dennis Allen and I would LOVE if there was some way to keep them and put in a head coach.

Same. Payton said he told three people all in a row, Mickey, Gayle then Allen. It’s already reported we’re interviewing DA for the job

I'm positive the hire will be Dennis Allen but he said Mickey, Gayle, then Dennis. Are you sure he wasn't talking about Lauscha?

Carmichael yes
Allen No

DA as head coach is back to the dark ages for the Saints.

I mean Carmichael knows Payton's offense...

I would be fine with it. Keep it in house.

Needs to be Allen. Can promote Richard to DC to keep him too. Carmichael May still stay. If you pass on Allen then he probably leaves. He is probably at top 3 DC in the league

Some people are meant to be coordinators, Allen was very bad in his opportunity as a HC. Carmichael does not fit as a HC at all doesn't have the personality required for the position.
