In March 2024, WWL Radio football analyst Mike Detillier said the New Orleans Saints were in “football purgatory,” which meant to say they weren’t good enough to be a Super Bowl contender and not bad enough for a complete teardown. What about now?
Mike joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s (Ep. 431) to share his thoughts, and he also talks LSU in the same boat. Of course, we have the big question: Just how hot is fire under Coach Brian Kelly as the Tigers get to the two-thirds pole this week vs. Texas A&M.
Will Saints coach Kellen Moore make the change sooner rather than later from quarterback Spencer Rattler to Tyler Shough? Will Devin Neal have a much larger role now that Kendre Miller is out for the season, and Alvin Kamara has goine through a rough patch? Jim talks for a few moments on the New Orleans Pelicans season opener, and Gabe Henderson finishes off the show with for Thursday Night Football picks as the Minnesota Vikings travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers.
