NFL is a small world. Everyone has worked with someone at another organization and does the professional thing by interviewing.

Chalk it up to another miscalculation by Loomis...

McCarthy's price just went up. I'm not sure the franchise leadership feels confident or stable enough to risk a Brady or Moore hire...

I'm going back to this comment and saying we land McCarthy.

Loomis's future could hinge on this decision so I can see the collective group giving the keys to a proven commodity coming off a dysfunctional relationship.

Not phased about Glenn going to the Jets instead of here, his D wasn't exactly anything to write home about.

The Lions had the success they did because their offense got out to fast starts and piled on the points, basically forcing teams to go one dimensional.

Adequate defense by great offense.

It'll be interesting to see how he fares.

You know the list is bad when McCarthy looks like one of the best ones on the list. I mean, Joe Brady!? He was a flash in the pan at LSU and look what he did with the Panthers?!

Another factor with Glenn is that clearly his head coach is a strong motivator and personality. If the head coach is more of an offensive whiz or a defensive whiz you can look at the side of the ball that is their expertise and realize there is a risk that the head coach is the real coordinator but maybe the coordinator is an expert understudy who brings the same skill, and you can look at the coordinator on the other side of the ball fairly independently for their body of work. But if the coach is more of a motivator and leadership figure than a scheme whiz, the head coach is probably a multiplier on both coordinators. If a coordinator can produce top 5 units maybe they could do that without the head coach, maybe not. But if the coordinator is producing 20-30 ranked units, as Glenn has, I have to wonder if he would produce 25-32 ranked units without the benefit of a Campbell's motivation and leadership. Dan Campbell strikes me as a very strong personality, an alpha type leader, but often that type of coach sucks up all the air in the room and does not surround themselves with equally strong personalities, they surround themselves with natural subordinates.

At least when the Jets hired Robert Saleh, they hired a defensive coordinator from a team that was known for their defense, and where the offensive minded head coach was known as more of a scheme nerd than a master motivator getting the entire team fired up. Now the Jets have returned to the formula of hiring a defensive coordinator from a winning team, except they picked a winning team that got less far in the playoffs, had a mediocre to poor defense, and where the only thing keeping that defense from being ranked 32 may have been a head coach whose leadership skill equally benefitted the defense.

Take it for what it’s worth, but an unverified source - >> Aaron Glenn wanted Mickey Loomis removed from GM position in order to take Saints job.

This is something I can believe.

I can believe he didn't want to work with Mickey, but that is a ballsy ask when interviewing for a job.

Any love for Kingsbury?

It’s possible that Glenn or one of the coaches he planned to add to his staff has struggled with alcoholism in the past and cannot be around someone like Mickey.
