The Saints may have the deepest corp of running backs (least drop off in talent between starters/backups) but it is also one of the most mediocre groups of backs. It’s a logjam of backups, much like the Cardinals with their QB situation.

I’d still say the Ravens corps of Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce is the best in the league.

He was a lousy OC but is a terrific mind when it comes to running backs. This guy will get the Saints about 2,700 yards rushing this season with about 1,300 of them going to Mark Ingram. Good hire.

No offense, but Sparty nation will not be shedding tears tonight. In part because, last year, there was no offense.

At first glance I thought the headline read “Saints hire Magician…”

“The New Orleans Saints and Michigan State are built on similar models, with a focus on character and people.”

Also with the focus of deliberately maiming and injuring one’s fellow NFLPA members.

Finally. Now the Saints need to complete their 3-4 defensive staff, as several position coaching jobs are open (Outside Linebackers, Defensive Backs & Asst. Defensive line).
