The New Orleans Saints have announced the departure of Offensive Coordinator Pete Carmichael, Senior Offensive Assistant Bob Bicknell, and Wide Receivers Coach Kodi Burns. Carmichael had been with the team since 2009. This marks the first major offensive change for the Saints since 2009, and head coach Dennis Allen will now need to find a new offensive coordinator. The decision comes after an 18-year run for Carmichael with the team, making him the last remaining staff member from Sean Payton's initial coaching staff.
