Remains to be seen how much of a drop off there is in the head coaching department from Sean Payton to Dennis Allen. But they very realistically could be back in the playoffs next year. Heck they almost made it this past year with a ridiculous amount of injuries and no offensive firepower.
I'm thinking not much. I'm thinking a lot of that success can be attributed to the personnel work of management. Obviously they got lucky with Drew. But they have found late round gems in the draft repeatedly on both dides of the ball. Hopefully sticking with Winston was not a big mistake.
