Saints owner Gayle Benson publicly criticized several members of the organization after the team’s 1‑4 start to the season.

In a statement released to the press, Benson said that fans are “right to expect more than we have delivered.” She called out the lack of progress and urged the organization to address the issues that have led to the poor record.

Gayle Benson has been the principal owner of the New Orleans Saints since 2018. The team, which competes in the National Football League’s NFC South division, has struggled to find consistency this year, losing its first four games.

While Benson did not name specific individuals in her remarks, she made it clear that the leadership and coaching staff must step up to meet the expectations of the franchise’s supporters.

The Saints’ 1‑4 start has intensified scrutiny from fans and media alike, and the owner’s comments come as the team looks to regroup for the remainder of the season.
