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

The disaster of a 2024 football season is finally over for the New Orleans Saints, and now the real work begins. Who will take over for Dennis Allen / Darren Rizzi? Who will want the job? Who are the names we’re going to hear mentioned?

Host Jim Derry has his thoughts on the State of the Saints in his final postgame “Derry’s Dime” of the season, and he asks viewers and listeners what they think on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 328) presented by Evangeline Securities on ‘Mano E Monday.’ Jim presents his case why Spencer Rattler can’t even serve as a backup quarterback, and anything other than offensive line early in the 2025 NFL Draft would be a big mistake. 

We also take a look at the 2025 opponents and why the Saints could have an “easy schedule” for a third consecutive season. (What does that even mean?) And there is at least a little optimism as Jim gives fans at least one reason an incoming coach be successful right away. (There is a precedent.)

Where is the Saints coaching search heading, and can Rattler even be a backup QB? Ep. 328

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."
