The New Orleans Saints did not have the type of season they had hoped for and now somebody has to pay for it with their job.
Dennis Allen is set to return as the Saints’ head coach in 2024. But he won’t be bringing the same staff with him as New Orleans is firing offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael after 15 seasons.
The Saints also parted ways with senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell and wide receivers coach Kodi Burns.
The 52-year-old Carmichael began his coaching career back in 1994 at New Hampshire. His first NFL coaching experience came with the Browns in 2000 when he was hired as their TEs coach.
He had stints with Washington and the Chargers before being hired by the Saints as their QBs coach in 2006. He would eventually work his way up to offensive coordinator in 2009 and has remained in the post ever since.
Things got bad last year as the team ranked No. 14 in total offense, No. 11 in passing yards, No. 21 in rushing yards, and No. 9 in scoring.
