Saints Fire Offensive Coordinator Pete Carmichael
11 months agoThe New Orleans Saints fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael on Tuesday, according to sources. Carmichael has been the team's offensive coordinator since 2009, continuing in the role through the transition from Sean Payton to current head coach Dennis Allen in 2022. In addition to Carmichael, the Saints have parted ways with senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell and wide receivers coach Kodi Burns. The Saints offense finished the season strong, but overall they were pretty inconsistent in 2023 under quarterback Derek Carr. New Orleans ranked ninth in the league in points per game (23.6), 14th in total yards per game (337.2), 11th in passing yards per game (234.7) and 21st in rushing yards per game (102.5) over 17 games.
