Saints start firing assistant coaches, but not that one

The Saints began the process of fixing things after a disappointing season by firing some coaches.

But not the one many were expecting, or even from the side of the ball that needs the most attention.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Saints have parted ways with wide receivers coach Henry Ellard, tight ends coach Terry Malone and assistant defensive backs coach Andre Curtis.

That list, you’ll note, doesn’t include defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, at least at the moment. Whether coach Sean Payton gives the big fella another year (and some actual players) to work with remains to be seen.

I see Payton is continuing to keep Vitt, Johnson, and McMahon on the staff.

Mark Ingram messed around and made the Pro Bowl

I think we should resign him and draft or sign a bush/sproles type of player.

Wouldn't be a Saints offseason now without some good ole controversy/bickering by people

"
Tom Benson's family is fighting back in court, claiming he has diminished mental capacity after he announced plans to remove them from control of his businesses, including the NFL's New Orleans Saints and NBA's Pelicans.

Benson, 87, announced Wednesday that he plans to hand over control of the franchises to his wife, Gayle, in the event of his death. But Benson's adopted daughter, Renee Benson, and grandchildren Rita Benson LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc filed a lawsuit Thursday claiming he should not be allowed to do so because his "health and mental capacity have significantly declined" and he has "fallen under the undue influence" of Gayle, whom Benson married in 2004.

Benson responded to the lawsuit in a statement Thursday night.

"I am extremely disappointed by the lawsuit filed against me today by my daughter and two grandchildren," he said. "Their allegations regarding my mental health are completely meritless and their allegations against my wife equally unfounded. I will vigorously defend my decisions and the businesses I have built. The false accusations in this suit further support the actions I have taken in changing the succession and transfer of ownership. There is a small sign that sits on my desk and simply states 'Tough times never last; but tough people do.' Make no mistake, I will be back in the office tomorrow morning working hard, as I do every day, to ensure that the Saints and Pelicans are positioned for long-term success. This State, City and our great fans deserve that. I have instructed my staff to have no comment on this lawsuit moving forward.""
