Should Saints prefer a proven coach like Belichick/Vrabel or a first-timer?

[@oldawwg8025]

Is it just me, or have these "great" coaches just happened to coach teams with great qb's? Belichik... Payton....

[@ChadCole-bd1rd]

Right I think head coaching is literally just being leaders of men

[@nickmessner700]

Yeah, it's almost like having a great QB helps you win games or something.

[@1001011011010]

Or, conversely, a great coach gets the best out of his players. Brees wasn't considered one of the best qbs of all time when the Saints got him from the Chargers. People were NOT expecting Bo Nix to be playing as well as he's playing. Etc.

[@vincentlockard1175]

Yes and no. Jared Goff isn’t a great QB but Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson elevate his game. Mike Vrabel had Ryan Tannehill and beat the patriots in Foxbourough in the playoffs. It’s more so pairing the QB with the coach. Not saying having a great QB doesn’t help but it’s not an exact recipe

[@mikemossa9640]

If Rizz takes the team to 10-7 or 9-8 and into the playoffs after the shhty start to this season, I believe he is “proven” enough to give him a try. I believe Rizzy is a natural because he loves his players and wins and loses with them and they love him.

[@ravishetye7107]

Happy Thanksgiving fellas great show!

[@derrickc4663]

I say rizz should stay to get the capp together!!

[@BrentonBannister-gc2pt]

He doesn’t count against the cap… lol

[@timothyruss6996]

I think we'll know which direction to take at the end of the season. If Rizzi take the team to the playoffs, then he's definitely the best candidate to be our future HC. If not, then maybe we can have an extensive interview process on our best option to be our next HC.

[@BrentonBannister-gc2pt]

We should have an extensive search either way… don’t sell us short based off emotional hype

[@joybischoff9558]

​@@BrentonBannister-gc2ptSolid wins are not emotional fluff. I've had experts tell me that wins don't matter in evaluating players and teams... hardly even a factor. Anyone so arrogantly stupid should find a different career.

[@savethebeez]

What i’ll say about the “building block” segment and Mccoy. It probably is not great that your center is your only pro bowler. But tbh he’s probably closer to an All-pro than a pro bowler. Mccoy and Fuaga are going to be really good pieces to build around I believe. Saints just need that pro bowl/all pro level skill position young guy. Olave still has that potential I think. Dude has been a stud. But, at this time I do agree he’s probably a compliment to a 1.

[@JessyWilliamson]

The real question: When Rizzi goes 7-1 will we even be able to keep him?

[@DestineeR0225]

yes we can he wants the job

[@JessyWilliamson]

@@DestineeR0225 What if the Jets offer him more money?

[@hog490]

Proven coach Ditka turned out great

[@MrThobias711]

Slim reaper= Kevin Durant

[@richvitale3831]

The real problem with this team is they borrowed on credit to try to hold onto a chance with Brees and now they have been paying that debt. This roster is thin and older and every time there is an injury it shows.

[@DestineeR0225]

when your head coach is your special teams cooridator yeah he plays no games curse on every kicker at home . and we blockin field goals its rizzy ball aint no tankin til we see we have been elimated

[@BrentonBannister-gc2pt]

Elimination happens tomorrow… don’t worry

[@kollynlundy]

I feel like mike and nick be beefing sometimes 😂

[@niqueo8159]

Not belichick. He's too old. And Loomis is too arrogant to give Bill the control he wants. Vrabel could be a good choice

[@solarbear8888]

Nope our cupboard is pretty bare. One of the worst situations.

[@oleksiinekrasa4974]

As long as Carr is QB, the next HC is a placeholder. No way the Saints get a top-tear coach

[@1001011011010]

I think I read Carr is like top 5 this season by QBR. There are probably worse problems than Carr that may make a HC wary like the way we deal with the cap

[@oleksiinekrasa4974]

Maybe. But he's not a winner. Cannot elevate guys 'round him

[@1001011011010]

@@oleksiinekrasa4974 We have a .500 record in games where he played this season and that's with the various injuries and makeshift o lines, and all the losses outside of the Chiefs game (in which he was injured and didn't complete) have been 1 score games. Meanwhile, we got pretty much more or less blown out in all the games without him
