  1. Wow glad I found this thread. Some great info in here. Wife and I are headed down for the game and making a weekend out of it (Saturday-Tues) Any thoughts on NYE strategy? Doesn’t look like there are many tables available at the good spots, so we figured we’d eat a late brunch and drunkenly bop around the Quarter and find something casual to coat the stomach (any recs?). Also any general areas/streets/bars we should stick to? I imagine Bourbon will be a shitshow. Haven’t been to NOLA since I was a senior at UT so super pumped to be going back.

    Looking at NFL coordinators other than Joe Brady, I know Bieniemy is the hot name because of Kansas City’s success, but I can’t take him seriously.   He was the biggest assclown imaginable as a player and then again as a position coach at Colorado under Gary Barnett, and then he was CU’s offensive coordinator in 2011-2012 when they were about the worst team in college football.   His career is nothing but being a clown and a failure except for the years he latched on to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

    What is the story on Greg Roman?  He doesn’t seem to get any NFL head coach offers, so maybe there’s an issue.  But on paper he looks interesting.  He has some limited college experience with Harbaugh at Stanford.   He’s been OC for SF with Kaepernick, Buffalo with Tyrod Taylor, and Baltimore with Lamar Jackson.  He’s produced decent to good offenses adapting his offense to ground based spread option systems for those guys, whereas most NFL coordinators probably would have just forced them into the typical NFL offense and failed miserably. 

    I do like the idea of getting someone with NFL experience vs. a lot of our other options.   NFL coaches at least know what talent is supposed to look like.  They usually recruit and evaluate well like Herm is doing at ASU, and they don’t make personnel decisions like playing Garrett Gray and Cade Brewer at slot WR for 4 years in a row.   

    I mentioned it a few pages ago, but Brian Daboll would not be bad. He’s fat tho so idk if he can recruit.
