The local media has decided Paris was a great week for the Saints brand and a terrible week for the Saints team. The city gave up a home game to watch a bad team lose by 6 in France. Being celebrated for owning a team is not the same as running one well. No one from Gayle on down is willing to make a hard decision. Exhibit A: Loomis has been GM since 2002. Next year we have a ton of cap space and a likely top 6 draft pick. After years in the wilderness, we now have resources. Does anyone trust him to use those properly? Contrast that with Indy. Carlie Irsay-Gordon backed Chris Ballard in January. Six games in, she fired him and said it couldn't wait until the offseason. That's a real owner doing real work improving the team. Instead, Gayle is being praised for throwing an ostentatious party in France for VIPs. What this team needs is an adult in the room: an owner willing to make the tough calls before problems linger too long and a floor raiser head coach (Flores, McDermott, Tomlin) to go with it. After this season, Shough will be 1/2 way through his rookie contract and while it is not midnight, we are past 11:40 pm.

You can get rid of Kellen Moore but as I said when they fired Dennis Allen until they change the way they operate on a macro level, they ain’t winning shit nor is it an attractive job despite Shough.

Got the win but somehow I think Kellen Moore is a worse coach than I did at noon.
