The New Orleans Saints have decided to roll with Pete Carmichael at offensive coordinator. Giving him the reigns on the offense as a playcaller, developer, and installer. If Mickey Loomise, Gayle Benson, and the Saints really wanted to maintain continuity and cohesion - this was the way to do it. It also opens the door even wider for a return for QB Jameis Winston.
In order to maximize the success Pete Carmichael and Dennis Allen can have on the offensive side, the Saints will have to dedicate resources to bolstering the offense. Building Carmichael's offense won't be too challenging, but needs to be taken serious. Drafting receivers like Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, or Christian Watson are a good start. But pursuing more talent at tight end like O.J. Howard would be a massive upgrade. Attention will also have to be given to depth on the offensive line and at running back with Alvin Kamara's early season availability in question.
A look at Pete Carmichael's past success when calling plays for a talented roster. In 2011, 2012, and 2016 he had very public opportunities to call plays and put together some highly effective offenses, including a record holding one in terms of yardage output. But to replicate that success, the Saints will need to build their offense at WR and make the right choice at QB.
