  &lt;p&gt;I love the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-orleans-saints&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Saints&lt;/a&gt; ,and despise the commissioner as much as any of you, but I did not want to spend $1500 for a trip to New Orleans for a team that did not want to try and get an interim coach.    How was there supposed to be any consistency and leadership with all of these people on the shelf for weeks at a time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remember when the discussion of hiring Parcells was bandied about?  Why didn't they go and find someone, anyone that could lead this team.  I remember hearing , &quot;We don't need a coach , we have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1998/drew-brees&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Drew Brees&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;  Well we see how that worked out - the guy cracked under the tremendous pressure&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who is making the call to go for a touchdown with less than a minute left in the first half -against the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-francisco-49ers&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;49ers&lt;/a&gt; at home , up by  7?  That moment was the end of our playoff hopes for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone agree with me about this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
