Sean Payton's back so don't worry about that.

But the Saints need a DC now.

I can't imagine SP firing Spags without someone else in mind.

SP has been sitting back and watching the Saints D flounder all year and it probably made him furious.

If the Saints had an even mediocre defense this year they would have been in the playoffs.

Let's be honest, any team that was beaten by the Chiefs last year was not that close to making the playoffs.

Nice guy.

That's all.

Yeah, Saints fans should be happy if they get the guy as a DC. He did a nice job in that role while he was here in KC, and I almost wish that he were never promoted in the first place so that he'd have stayed here in that role. It would be a hell of a lot better than what we ended up hiring.

A 2-gap with an attacking offense? Should work well!

I think his system is outdated, but you could still do worse.

You could do A LOT worse than Romeo at DC.

He just got reinstated this week and today he fired DC Steve Spagnuolo and said they are moving to a 3-4.

Lots of Saints fans think they should hire Romeo.

What's your honest opinion of that?

Seemed like Romeo was lost as a HC but don't really know his history as a DC.

Please elaborate.

How old is someone not to know RAC's history of a DC? Holy crap!
ProFootball Reference.com is good.

Romeo's a real sound defensive mind. But what you're going to get is an overly conservative defense with very well coached players. He's not going to attack a whole ton. And by the way, it means you have to restructure your offensive line to bring in slow defensive ends and big OLBs.

No team should be transitioning into 2-gap right now. There's a reason why no team runs it. The only 2-gap guys left coordinating are Sutton and Bowles. And I'm 99% sure Sutton isn't running 2-gap.

Something has to be done about these "running quarterbacks" and the read option.

It's only going to get worse until someone cleans Englebert Humperdink's clock.

Someone from the Ravens should take care of that.

In 2013....not so much.

What? His defense was 11th without his best player 2 years ago.

Romeo is way overrated at anything he does.

[Fritz88]

He's a good DC despite what some say here.

I'd hire him.
