Saints are not planning to replace OC Pete Carmichael Jr. or any other assistants beyond Dan Roushar at this point, per sources.

Although the team knows it needs to be better on offense, they believe in Carmichael and his track record. Adding to offensive staff still possible.

I expected Saints to make bigger changes on offense, but this does fall in line with what Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis have consistently preached about valuing stability in key roles over making emotional decisions.

Bouncing back from 7-9 seasons in the past surely a factor.

What's an absolute must is that Saints recognize the offense has fallen flat in recent years and must evolve

Could that happen with Carmichael? Sure. Offense has taken many forms over his tenure, mostly very good. But now it needs to take a new form in the post-Payton/Brees era.
