Jim Mora talks about his days as Saints coach, Sam Mills, Dome Patrol, Ep. 83

One week ago, we were talking about the Saints finally making the big move that needed to be done many months ago with the firing of Coach Dennis Allen. On Sunday, that move paid dividends, as the team played inspired football for the first time in more than a month under interim coach Darren Rizzi.

So after the team’s 20-17 victory against the hated Atlanta Falcons, are fans already thinking Rizzi should be considered for the long-term gig? Jim Derry shares his thoughts in his weekly ‘Derry’s Dime’, and he asks viewers and listeners, as well, on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 305) presented by Evangeline Securities in another ‘Mano E Monday’ episode. 

Also, Gabe Henderson joins the show, and things get spicy when Jim and Gabe disagree on why LSU lost to Alabama. Lastly, Jim plays clips from quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara for proof the team is happy Allen is gone, and he also gives a prediction for Monday Night Football as the Rams host the Dolphins.

For at least a day, Saints fans had fun ... What does this mean for Darren Rizzi? Ep. 308

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to focus on what's important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, Prep, sports betting, fantasy sports and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he'll "always tell you the way it is ... or at least the way he THINKS it is."
