The Saints have fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael. Carmichael was the offensive coordinator for the last 15 seasons and he’s been with the franchise for 18 years. After missing the playoffs for a third consecutive season, change felt inevitable according to the host of the Locked On Saints podcast Ross Jackson.
“It was clear for the New Orleans Saints that after the 2022-23 seasons, sort of these consistently-inconsistent offenses, that they would need to move on and try to figure out a new way to revamp their offensive system,” said Jackson.
Many in the Who Dat Nation believe head coach Dennis Allen should be fired, but Jackson says the Saints look at the inconsistency of the offense as a reason why Carmichael needed to be replaced.
“Execution, game planning, play calling, all those things were things that we pointed to for the past two seasons and said wow the New Orleans Saints really need to improve here,” said Carmichael.
Jackson says quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry could get promoted, but there are also quality candidates outside of the organization, including the Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson and 49ers passing game coordinator Klint Kubiak.
