After losing to the lowly Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the New Orleans Saints finally made a change firing Head Coach Dennis Allen. The Saints were a disaster under Dennis Allen as he finished 18-25 in two and a half seasons wasting the primes of some of the Saints best players.

Now that the New Orleans Saints are searching for a Head Coach one of the most attractive candidates has experience winning in Louisiana. Bills Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady has emerged early on as one of the front runners to land the New Orleans Saints Head Coaching gig.

After the Bills had a lowly start to the season on offense last season Joe Brady has taken over the offense and has turned around the Bills. Brady has Josh Allen playing MVP level football with 2,001 yards and 17 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions. Given how explosive the Bills offense has been it would be a no brainer for the Saints to consider hiring Brady.

Joe Brady has already brought a championship back to Louisiana as he was the Tigers passing game coordinator and the Wide Receivers coach for the LSU 2019 National Championship team. As a receivers coach, Brady coached maybe the best trio in College Football history in Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Terrace Marshall Jr.

It would be a no brainer to get Joe Brady back In-State

The Saints have looked lifeless on offense as Derek Carr hasn't lived up to his early season performances sending the Saints down the tubes on a seven game losing streak. The weapons are there for the Saints with Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, and Rashid Shaheed among others but, the Sains will likely need a new quarterback to lead the team. It would make a ton of sense to bring in Brady who can simplify the offense for the next signal caller and get the Saints back to competing for the Playoffs.
