Anyone else surprised that the team was not punished more?? The owner had put money in the kiddy as well.

I would look to bring in a veteran like Joe Gibbs, Dick Vermeil or Bill Parcells for one year. If you bring in a young coach, there will be awkardness if they do well and then have to return to their normal role the next year.

If they brought in a veteran like Gibbs, the team would be able to function the same at the coordinator level, but have a respected figure head as the head coach to lead the team.

Carmichael seems the wiser choice since he’s more familiar with the organization and had to step in when Payton was injured. Having one of the premier QBs in the game will take a lot of pressure off him, as will having a former HC running the defense.

Perhaps the best news in all this for Saints fans is Loomis’s suspension. Although I gather he won’t be required to step out until the season begins, perhaps Benson should push him aside now and work out a deal with Drew to ensure a smooth camp for Carmichael. Loomis’s handling of the contract negotiations has been ridiculous from the get-go. If you’re too big an idiot to realize you’re negotiating for an elite QB, you have no business being at the table.

The aints should have got the death penalty and the superbowl stripped away.
——————————
Dumbest post of the day. How do you think an owner of 30 years would respond to those two things being done? My guess is that Tom Benson would blow the league up. Take away his team and he will make sure the guys in Washington who are dying to destroy the NFL get all the information they need to break the monopoly that is the NFL. He punished the Saints enough. Time to move on.

You can tell when a team is a bada$$, because loser fan bases are out in full force. Nothing will stop the Saints from taking it all, THIS season, watch and learn boys.

Though the Saints would hate to loose their best coaches, isn’t there a stigma now surrounding Payton and his supporting staff? Maybe they (the afore mentioned coaches) should look for other teams after 2012.

Sean Payton can now go hang out with his buddy John Gruden on MNF.

Carmichael will be the likely choice. He has more experience with our offense. The key to any kind of decent season is to get Drew signed. He and coach developed the offense.

Luckiest man in football … Steve Spagnuolo; de facto head coach of the Saints.

Oh the Saints will place a “job opening” sticky pad memo on the local shopping center bulletin board – they will be OK.

Serious question.

Does Drew hold out and grab the Saints by the gonads for even more mojo?
