Disappointing results often lead to sweeping changes.
The Saints should end up as an outlier in that equation.
Last year’s 7-9 finish was different than the one New Orleans just completed. That finish was the result of a dysfunctional locker room and underachieving players, who were traded away, cut or exiled by whatever means necessary.
This group has promise and youth on its side. The front office and coaching staff feels good about the direction of the team. Sweeping changes shouldn’t be made — at least not ones that leave people scratching their heads in confusion or surprise — like last offseason.
