The New Orleans Saints failed to meet expectations in 2023, and CBS Sports analyst Jeff Kerr believes they’re in line to take an even farther step back next season. This is complete 180 from the spirits locally. Many local fans seem more optimistic after the hiring of Klint Kubiak. Kerr is looking higher than Kubiak and right at Dennis Allen.
New Orleans can still win the NFC South in 2024, but is the ceiling 9-8 with Dennis Allen as head coach? The Saints don’t have a great front office structure, nor a good head coach in place to get the most out of a group that should be better than the record shows.
Questions and doubt about Allen won’t subside until the season begins. This isn’t a roster problem in Kerr’s eyes. Honestly, it’s hard to disagree with his reason for hesitancy.
It seemed the Saints had a quality roster to be better than they were. Instead, they were the league’s biggest underachievers in 2023. Pointing to the coach for not maximizing the talent and doubting he’ll be able to next year are reasonable. That’s why Kubiak was brought in in hopes of maximizing offensive talent.
