Overview

• The New Orleans Saints have fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell, and receivers coach Kodi Burns.
• Carmichael, who has been with the Saints for 18 years, took over play-calling duties after head coach Sean Payton left the club following the 2021 season.
• The Saints' offense, led by 10-year NFL veteran quarterback Derek Carr, ranked 14th overall in yards per game with 337.2, but often stagnated in clutch situations.
• The team converted just 53.3% of red zone opportunities into touchdowns, ranking 18th in the league.
• Despite the firings, head coach Dennis Allen will remain with the Saints, who have gone 16-18 under his leadership and missed the playoffs for two straight seasons.
