Saints outrun Raiders in HC pursuit as NFL legend Pete Carroll sends message to Gayle Benson, Accepts Saints Head Coach Role with Conditions saying that…

In a surprising development, renowned NFL head coach and executive Pete Carroll has reached out to New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, expressing his interest in accepting the position of head coach. Carroll, widely respected for his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, reportedly informed Benson of his decision to take the reins of the Saints’ football operations, contingent on a significant change within the organization.

Sources close to the situation confirm that Carroll, who led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory in 2013, made it clear that while he is eager to join the Saints and return to the sidelines, he would only accept the role if changes were made at the general manager level. Carroll is believed to have suggested that the Saints’ current front office leadership, including the GM position, is not aligned with his vision for the team’s future.

“Pete is very clear about wanting full control over the football operations,” said an insider familiar with the discussions. “He’s been in the league long enough to know what it takes to win championships, and he believes that in order for him to successfully run the team, changes in the GM role would be essential.”

This move could signal a significant shift in the Saints’ strategy, especially as the franchise has faced criticism for its recent struggles. Carroll’s experience and success, combined with his demand for autonomy, could pave the way for a new era in New Orleans football, provided the ownership agrees to his terms.

While the final decision has yet to be made, sources indicate that Benson is seriously considering Carroll’s proposal. A potential meeting between the two is expected in the coming days to further discuss the terms of the deal, which could redefine the future of the Saints for years to come.
