The team set the price. That's why only some have qualified to interview him.

He's also the best HC available so yeah, they should ask for multiple 1st round picks.

I agree. They should ask for multiple 1st rounders. It doesn't mean that the other team is ultimately willing to give them what they want. I also believe the reason why others DIDN'T qualify to interview is that under no circumstance did the Saints want him going to them (Panthers and Falcons). I have read others that feel like they'd be willing to take less if he was to go to the AFC. That make sense and I'd have to agree.

One more point on a mention earlier in the thread concerning player trades. Player trades were frozen for the league year on November 1st and remain frozen until after the end of the league year on March 14th. Therefore, the earliest date a player can be traded is March 15th.

I just can't see that myself. I am holding the best coach to become available in recent memory. The price is the price. Now, I could see where division rivals have to pay MORE, but not conference paying less.

Just repeating what I have heard recently by several former GM's. They have all said he would be totally off-limits to a division rival regardless of price and that they would settle for less out of conference if they were the Saints.
