The New Orleans Saints were a bad franchise for a very long time. It took the organization until its 21st season to boast a winning record and its 34th season to win a playoff game. Times were pretty tough for the Saints, especially early on but the front office tried to improve things.
In 1976, the Saints swung for the fences and brought in Hank Stram, who had incredible success during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs (and the Dallas Texans, which was what the Chiefs were before they relocated to KC). Stram was a decorated coach during his time with the Texans and Chiefs, winning two AFL Championships and a Super Bowl.
