Saints Already Have a Lombardi

At this time the Lombardi happens to be in the form of a coach instead of a trophy. Joe Lambardi, grandson of legendary coach Vince Lombardi is the quarterbacks coach for the New Orleans Saints. Lombardi was promoted to the position on January 12, 2008. He had previously served as an offensive assistant where he worked closely with Pete Carmichael, Jr. who is now the Saints offensive coordinator. In Lombardi’s first year as quarterbacks coach Drew Brees passed for for 5,069 yards, which was just shy of Dan Marino’s passing record. Lombardi has also coached the Saints running backs briefly.

Lombardi came to the Saints in 2007 with substantial coaching expeience on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Prior to arriving in New Orleans, Lombardi served as a defensive assistant with the rival Atlanta Falcons. Before joining the Falcons Lombardi was the offensive coordinator and and recruiting coordinator at Mercyhurst College in Eerie, PA.

Lombardi started his coaching career in 1996 at the University of Dayton. While at Dayton Lombardi coached the defensive line. Unde his tutelage the Flyers won 20 straight games.

On Sunday, Lombardi has the chance to help the Who Dat Nation win the trophy named after his grandfather. In an interview during Tuesday’s media day in Miami Lombardi said, “If we win, there are a lot of people here who are going to touch that trophy before I get my shot at it. I mean, I’m pretty far down the totem pole.”

No matter how far down the coaching pole Lombardi thinks he is, we at Whodatsaint.com and all members of the Who Dat Nation pray that come Superbowl Sunday, Lombardi has the chance to touch, hug and kiss the trophy named after his iconic grandfather.

More information on Coach Joe Lombardi can be found on the New Orleans Saints Website

Stand up and Get Crunk Fires up Who Dat Nation

As I’m sure most of you know (Halftime) Stand Up & Get Crunk has been played throughout the dome this season. It is even being played non-stop on the airwaves of New Orleans. The song began playing in the dome this year after a Saints TD when the kickoff team takes the field. It has become the perfect motivational song for Who Dat fans and Saints players. It’s a fun song and people in the dome go nuts when it is played. The song was even played by the U.S. Marine Corps band before the Cardinals game.

So why has this song become such a hot commodity? Is it only because the Saints have had such a wonderful season? Maybe it’s because it has the lyric’s “Here We Come to Get You” which could refer to the Saints opposing quarterbacks. Or maybe it’s the “If You Haven’t had Enough You Better Hide Yo Lunch Cause We About to Eat That Ass Up!” which could refer to what the Saints have done to most opponents this year.

I don’t know if the exact reason will ever be known. But, I can say this, the song is very catchy and has some wonderful bass to it. It reminds me of one of those songs that you love to hear at a parade. The ones where the St. Aug high school band stops right in front of you and starts to play. I’m sure the Purple Knights will be playing the song alot this parade season.

The song, performed by the crunk rap duo, the Ying Yang Twins, Kaine and D-Roc, was originally released in 2004 on their album “My Brother and Me” under the TVT record label. It was a follow up to their Album “Me and My Brother” which was released in 2003. A Who Dat video version can be found on YouTube.

So what exactly does it mean to get “Crunk”? According to the Urban Dictionary it’s either a combination of the words chronic(marijuana) and drunk or a combination of the words crazy and drunk. NO matter what the word means I’m sure on Superbowl Sunday plenty of Who Dat Nation fans will be getting “Crunk”!
