The New Orleans Saints' 2024 season isn't over, but the team clearly needs a change. Whether it happens in-season or after this year, barring an unforeseeable turnaround, Dennis Allen and the Saints feel likely to part ways. Managing an in-season coaching change is a challenge, but New Orleans has one staff member that makes sense at interim and the veteran leadership to keep things together.

Derek Carr is expected back this weekend against the Carolina Panthers, but will that be enough? Production on offense has stifled big time since Klint Kubiak's exciting debut. How Chris Olave, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Alvin Kamara and others are almost more important to the return of Carr as Carr himself. Injuries, injuries, injuries. What will the Saints do to get healthy again?
