New Orleans Saints terminate two offensive assistant coaches along with parting ways with Pete Carmichael

Pete Carmichael, the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints, was fired,

according to head coach Dennis Allen.

Additionally, it has been reported that New Orleans fired senior offensive assistant coach Bob Bicknell and

wide receivers coach Kodi Burns.

Burns’ firing was an unexpected decision. After joining the Saints in 2022,

Burns completed his second season as the wide receivers coach.

He assisted in the development of All-Pro Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave, two promising players.

Michael Thomas was placed on injured reserve on November 21 and missed seven games this season with the receiving corps.

Olave dominated the team in receiving the last two seasons and was a 2022 contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The Saints selected him with the 11th overall choice in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft,

and since then, he has 159 receptions for 2,165 yards and nine touchdowns.

Shaheed developed into a “big play” threat for the New Orleans quarterbacks in 2023–24, with five receptions, one rush, and a touchdown punt return. In 27 game appearances, Shaheed recorded 74 receptions for 1,207 yards and seven receiving touchdowns.

Bob Bicknell, Dennis Allen’s senior offensive assistant, wrapped up his second season with the New Orleans Saints. During his 14th and 29th NFL seasons, Bicknell coached a variety of positions, including wide receivers and offensive line.
