Saints struggle post-Brees, roster issues persist; Pete Carroll could eye head coach role amid team's uncertainty

The New Orleans Saints are currently in a challenging phase following the end of the Drew Brees era, struggling with a roster that lacks both an elite quarterback and depth, resulting in their inability to make the playoffs since Brees retired. Despite these struggles, the team continues to pursue short-term fixes like Derek Carr, rather than committing to a full rebuild. While Dennis Allen's potential departure could open up the head coaching position, top candidates may be reluctant to join a team with limited potential for success. However, Pete Carroll might consider taking on the role if he desires to return to the sidelines, as the Saints could be an option for him.
