To those worried about his scouting, I'm sure he will bring I'm top minds to do that for him so he can focus on the pro side. Not worried about that in the least. I also think this means someone big gets traded, that's Fontenonts speciality (movement on the pro side) I would almost guarantee you the HC pick is all but done since the GM pick is done. I believe the places that had both GM and HC openings - they were likely somewhat paired up as a matched set. I might be wrong about that, but that is my perception.

Let's give our good drafting rival two freebie draft picks and if he doesn't work out here, he's got a cushy job waiting for him again in New Orleans. Holmes was right there. Once again McKay in charge of another decision that sets the franchise back. I don't know what it's going to take for Blank to see he's a complete moron. Holmes was my #1 choice. With that said, the Saints aren’t getting two additional 3rd round comp picks from ATLANTA. They’re getting rewarded those two picks from the NFL. Fontenot likely would’ve been hired by another team and the Saints still would’ve gotten those two picks regardless. Let’s just hope Fontenot does a great job here.

Of course - I almost mentioned him in my response about players going back and forth - but since he wasn't a FA, it didn't fit.

While your rival being gifted 2 picks is not ideal, It's not like their coming from our inventory. If he turns this team around he is worth 2 measly comp 3rd round picks the league will gift them. Not to mention, if someone else hired him they would still get those picks. Ergo Proxy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Terry, please go in the warroom and take a picture of the Saints draft board and grab all the scouting reports on the way out." I hope he's been ransacking Saints HQ all week. Hey another positive spin, our D should improve immensely and immediately. This dude has been pre-gaming us for years. He'll be able to come in and tell us exactly what our D problem is and probably how to fix it. Then we can ditch him and grab Holmes or Smith. This is about to get good.

Yep part of having success in the NFL. He should be a good one for the Falcons. Gotta hope we retain Ireland now. We lost both and will have to replace from within.

I get it...coming from a deeply rooted place of disdain for your rival. He isnt coming there for 3 years to destroy the franchise at the behest of Saints or Saints fans.
