"Saints Overhaul Coaching Staff, Part Ways with Longtime Offensive Coordinator"

The New Orleans Saints have fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. after 15 seasons, along with two other key offensive assistants. Carmichael, who had been with the team since 2006 and served as OC since 2009, oversaw a decline in the team's offensive performance in recent years. The Saints are considering former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden as a potential replacement for Carmichael, given his play-calling experience and close relationship with quarterback Derek Carr.
