re: How do you handle the pitching moving forward?
Posted by armydude on 4/28/25 at 11:48 am
I am happy with the way things turned out this weekend, obviously!
However, I still think Evans should have came in Saturday when we had the momentum. As soon as we got to the reliever, and came within 1 run, you have to have confidence in this lineup to do damage on any team's bullpen.
Had Evans came in we probably don't give up a 6-run inning, and JJ doesn't start pinch hitting the lineup.
Hindsight being 20/20, JJ probably already made the decision to start Evans, which I wasn't expecting. But, who knows!

Blake Ruffino @ AYS SPORTS has really good baseball content.

Smoke?
Although he doesn't add up to Skip, Paul, or JJ, he's far from "worst in LSU sports history" rhetoric.

We can all agree with this, I’m sure. But this is one of the reasons why I’d rather McCarthy.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd love to know your rationale behind this statement.
The NFL is the only sports organization where a "homerun hire" can literally have 0 wins as a HC, and I don't know why. The data don't even back it up.

Then what THE frick are we doing? You want to just hire a coach for some offensive exitement? Maybe win a playoff game or two?
You hire, coach, & play to win a Super Bowl.
McCarthy has won a Super Bowl. He's also got a pretty good winning percentage compared to other HCs in the league.
WTF?!?!?

Per your request…..
I’m willing to back any coach that’s willing to pursue a Total Reset.
To achieve this….Begin with releasing Carr NOW and suffer at least 2 years with Cap when dismantling the Team.
Don’t think McCarthy willing to immediately enter the situation and suffer losing for about 2-3 years.
The other coaches on your list ??
I don’t know if they are willing to undergo the rebuild either….. so I won’t comment on them.
Per McCarthy… I just think he would want to win NOW and satisfy what Loomis has been doing since Sean Payton left… and that’s win NOW.
There…. You are enlightened.
So you're saying keep Rizzi as HC?
re: McCarthy is the best hire

Look I get it! But I'm basing my data off of previous Super Bowl winning coaches. Most coaches that win the Super Bowl are veterans at being a HC. Every now and again you will get a brand new HC that wins it. By brand new I mean a first time head coach with 5 or less years in that position. Payton, Pederson, and McVay fit that mold as of recent.
Head Coaches with multiple Super Bowl rings with a certain team have been fired (or voluntarily left for whatever reason) from another team, and got another chance somewhere else.

So please enlighten me…
What would Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, or Darren Rizzi bring?
McCarthy brings a ring with him. I’m not sure what the other guys bring other than mystery and uncertainty.

Super Bowl? He has won one super bowl and he is the best hire?
Uhhh Yeah. There's only been 57 of them in the history of the NFL, and he has one. I dont know if you know this or not, but Super Bowls are hard AF to win.
Andy Reid is the only Head Coach in the NFL right now that has multiple Super Bowl wins.
Out of 32 teams, 7 Head Coaches in the NFL that coached in 2024 have a ring. McCarthy is one of them.
In 18 seasons as a head coach, McCarthy has had 5 losing seasons. For comparisons sake, Sean Payton has had 6 losing seasons in 17 seasons as a head coach. Both have 1 ring.
Yes. McCarthy is the best hire right now.

Negative! DA was a proven failure @ HC. Now he's just more of a proven failure @ HC.
Somebody is going to get a really good DC for a long time, bc he aint going anywhere to be a HC.

Maybe not, but he's the best for the situation we are in.
A brand new head coach in the situatuin the Saints are in is a recipe for disaster.
We need somebody that knows a thing or two about putting a staff together for long term success.

If you want to win a Super Bowl sooner rather than later, McCarthy is your guy.
Here are my reasons why:
1. He's already won a Super Bowl as a HC. He knows what it takes.
2. Head Coaches in their first stint typically take a while to adjust. A veteran (5 plus years) head coach has won 2 of the last 11 Super Bowls. McVay & Pederson are the two that were in their first stint, and won within 5 years. LA was the NFL darling when McVay became the HC. And do we really want Pederson? It looks like he caught lightning in a bottle bc he has not been able to sustain success for shite. He appears to be the NFL version of Coach Eaux.
3. He's well respected across the league. He should be able to attract high quality assistant coaches.

Also, McCarthy was fighting with one arm tied behind his back in Dallas. Jerry Jones has way too much input in the team. I think with a little more freedom he can turn this Saints franchise around.
Just my 2 cents.

1 year. I still rarely drink ever since I went that full year without it. The last drink I had was 2 months ago, and it was a Michelob Ultra.

re: NIL is NOT the evil. The Transfer Portal is the Problem.
Posted by armydude on 12/13/24 at 3:43 pm
I agree rules need to be in place.
College football programs require a certain amount of buy-in to develop a culture. The transfer portal is making building a culture nearly impossible. It takes longer than 12 months to do so, and if you have a bunch of kids coming and going at will, the culture just becomes a revolving door.
