Shane Steichen should be the NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen is coach of the year. That touchdown play, the Michael Pittman touchdown where they ran a fake rub route was like so perfectly—I'd have to imagine they had run that rub route a bunch of times and then to save the fake for that exact moment was ran to perfection.

Prediction Football Medium

Kevin Stefanski won the 2023 AP NFL Coach of the Year award, though Steichen finished high in the voting (runner-up).

The Saints should let their offense run through Taysom Hill all the time.

They should just let that offense run through Taysom Hill all the time. There's nobody like him in the NFL. He seems to be effective at moving the chains. The offense is something that like, you can't really prepare for that well.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

The Saints continued to split time between Derek Carr and Hill, never fully committing to Hill as the primary engine of the offense.

The Saints need to blow everything up and reset their franchise

The Saints just have to admit that they suck and they have to start blowing everything up because the Saints have been doing this for, it started at the end of the Brees era and it's been going on ever since where they just continually kick the can down the road. The Saints are $71 million over the cap next year. I don't even know how that's possible. Why wouldn't they just start trading people? Start cutting, start trading, just reset everything. If you're a Saints fan, you have to want a fresh restart.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

Subjective opinion on roster management, though the Saints notably did NOT blow it up and continued to restructure contracts for 2024.

Making the playoffs as the NFC South representative would be the worst thing for the Saints long-term.

The worst thing that could happen to the Saints is they somehow get into the playoffs as the NFC South representative, lose a game and then they can tell themselves, oh we were, we were pretty close. We were a playoff team. Like, you just gotta hit reset on everything.
