Half of the NFL will be installing a new offensive coordinator this offseason, but the New Orleans Saints are not in that number. They’ve instead chosen to run it back with Pete Carmichael in his second consecutive season as their play caller after a decade-and-a-half of being Sean Payton’s wingman.
Only two of the sixteen bottom-ranked teams in both expected points added per play (read more about EPA/play here) and defense-adjusted value over average (read up on DVOA ratings here) are bringing back their 2022 offensive coordinator, including New Orleans. Time will tell if that was the right approach, or if they should have entered the fray to bring in a new shot-caller on offense.
