Actually they requested the Leftwich interview over a week ago from what I'm seeing now. They were granted the interview four days ago. Maybe they were waiting to talk with Bieniemy first.

At this point Dennis Allen and retaining much of the staff together is the best option going forward. Both Allen and Carmichael have coached and called the offense and defensive plays and been key in building the current system team structure and unity, which are not an issue. Not to imply that any of the candidates brought in, black white or any color or not worthy, but they would bring with with them a entirely new system and team of coaches. Unless the organization stipulates that certain coaches and system remain in place and why would any strong coaching candidate agree to that.

This team is neither disorganized or dysfunction and needs to start from square one. None of that hold true for the Saints. Some challenges ahead for the staff but with challenges lie opportunity.

Agreed. Loomis put it best when he said that the Saints are in a totally different position while searching for their next head coach than the other eight teams. Their head coaches were all fired. The Saints lost theirs through retirement.

Who do you think makes the final decision on the hire? Loomis alone? Loomis and Mrs. Benson?

Final? Mrs B is my guess. Jeff Ireland, she and Micky all talk,
but she makes the call I guess.

I'd say the only three with the real decision making would be Loomis, Lauscha, and Benson. The owner has to have the final say, however.
