Saints absolutely need to tear it all down and rebuild.

[thecomediankodybean]

Didn’t Derek Carr get Dennis Allen fired twice lol once with the raiders ? They was like 0-10 😂😂

[jimmygunz]

“A lot of coaches got fired under his watch”?
Name those coaches and how and why they left the organization.
Being an interim coach and not keeping that interm isn’t getting fired and certainly not a players fault.
Carr had absolutely nothing to do with Gruden getting let go.
McDaniels wasn’t on Carrs watch.
Attempting to land a quote like that should let your listeners know they can get every bit of “information” you give elsewhere.

You’re still saying LSU is more popular?? Even after being told that’s just untrue by Bobby Hebert? 😂😂 you don’t know Louisiana John, just stop.

[keithyousocrazy]

Being a diehard fan of both the Saints and LSU and being born and raised in NOLA, John doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The Saints is clearly the more popular the team not only in the state but in the Southern region. Who Dat stretches to the Florida panhandle!

I can see New Orleans giving Robert Saleh a call

[The.Akademic]

Crazy they aren’t interim tagging Kubiak to give him an audition

[cruxofthesubject]

I'd hope we can get Ben Johnson, but he'd be insane to take our job lol

[roguecode]

I watched every game DC played with the Raiders and as bad as it has gotten and is now it was essentially an issue on his part. The Raiders built him the best o-line and even then he would manage to fumble or throw an INT in the worse possible situation.
He is a solid back up. Will carry you a game or two but you need a better QB to replace him quickly.

Josh Dubow has a real hatred for Derek Carr. Absolutely love it

[aztronomy]

Being a fired head coach is the best gig in the entire world. I’d just retire and go to Colombia.

[marcopolo]

Saints fan here. DA should’ve never been hired. Had a chance to get Dan Campbell. The GM and Derek Carr need to go. It’s time for a total rebuild. Hopefully Lions win the superbowl and Ben Johnson is ready to be a HC, do whatever is needed to get him

[COMMONsenseAdvocate]

Even when the Saints first started winning when Brees and Sean joined, i still couldn't actually believe that the Saints were not getting their ass kicked every Sunday. They were the joke of the league for decades and decades

[Grrnal-dq]

Gayle just got back from looking beyond the results…and damn if she ain’t seen DA anywhere in there.😐

[MrDavidknigge]

When Derek Carr was a Raider, he usually played my Chiefs very tough and competetively. I respect him as a very competitive player at the highest level. If teams don't want him starting for them, I could see him playing another 5 years as a bridge quarterback or a quality backup. I wonder what Jon Gruden thought of him.

[austinking]

Some coaches should take the Spags route seems more fun anyway.

[jamiledunn]

Nailed it, except for LSU being more popular than the Saints in state.

[danielclouatre-ho]

I hate to take up for the Saints but they did not get rid of Sean Payton but he resigned. Totally different situation than Belichick.

[Downsouthgamingdad]

As a life time saints fan I said last night I was a lions fan until he got fired….. here we are who dat

[Travis-obtt]

They have a 80 million dollar dead cap hit next year which is why i thought they might ride out 2025 with Allen then hit reset and find the new guy. They also have a lot of aging players making a lot of $ it's just not a very good job.
