Lombardi and Campbell...and if they can't land Lombardi, my sense is the whole deal is off.

I would have thought the other way around... the affection that Red has for Campbell has been pretty apparent for a long, long time.

The main reason they REALLY want Lombardi is obvious. They want a guy that will push Dak. Lombardi does this ten fold. My guess is Dak will respond well. First things first, we have to get permission to talk to him and wait til the season is done for N.O. I DONT blame JJ..If Im about to commit big bucks to my young QB, I want a top flight QB coach and OC handling it all,starting ASAP. Makes tons of sense.

yes...but Jerry is pulling the strings here,not JG...JERRY is being adamant about canning Moore and getting Lombardi asap.Thats what I am hearing.

Dak tunes out Moore. That aint a good thing. Dak needs a guy to teach him THE RIGHT things to do...and I think this is why Jerry wont hire Campbell in place of Linehan if he cant get Joe Lombardi. Lombardi is the key here. Saints have to permit him to even talk to Jerry first...and I dunno if they have to be honest.AllI been told is feelers been going out bigtime to New Orleans.

Some think they might be talking about Norv Turner.

If so, that sounds like a true compromise decision.
  1. Someone Garrett knows and is comfortable with
  2. Not Linehan
It will now be interesting to see if he could get out of any contract he might be under? Or if he is?

That’s who Sturm guesses

Hey. If a source said it, and the guy is prominent, it’s gotta be true.

Hard hitting stuff, Werder.

Great story, Ed. Compelling and rich.

I’m not a big fan of Linehan’s. I like Lal. I think Moore can be fairly easily upgraded (but I don’t. hate the guy like so many do).

This could just as easily have been looking into a replacement for Colombo before he re-signed though. Who knows what it might be referring to?
For all we know he's referring to the voices in his head.

Except that Norv has been available this whole time, so it doesn't corroborate with Jerry's suggestion that someone could shake loose in the next couple of weeks.

It could mean that getting Turner away from Carolina is in the works, it first gave to mean a coach in the playoffs

And except that there are people... or at least one person... who fit that description who also are former colleagues of Garrett's and who he has said he regards highly.

Don't keep us in suspense?

Already mentioned that earlier.Listen...You come to your own conclusions..no skin off my nose.Im just tellin you what I been hearing and I thought it might be some food for thought.
Sorry I missed that post. My bad. Id love this if it were true. A real QB coach for Dak. Not the guy he beat out for the starting job lol

I always thought it should be as easy as getting wives talking to each other, but I don't know if the CBA somehow makes that a punishable offense.

The real reason Jerry would want Lombardi is because he's still never recovered from letting Sean Payton leave and he wants to try to recapture a piece of Payton anyway he can.
