Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 
If the Saints don't make a hire this week, do we assume that they have targeted someone from a team still in the playoffs?

If they want McCarthy, there is nothing in the way of getting him. Are they waiting for Joe Brady to be officially available?

I think they’ll do their due diligence and wait to at least interview everyone they want to interview. There’s no rush now.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if the Saints took a chance on Joe Brady while Mike McCarthy went to LSU. While there has never been an NFL coach who won super bowls coaching two different teams, there has been a coach who won an NFL super bowl and an NCAA championship, Pete Carroll. I could see McCarthy being a solid college coach, having the right personality to be effective on that level.

I heard something that made me feel better about our potential for the next 2-3 years.

1. 7 of our 8 coaching targets are available
2. Saints are over the cap $50M in '25 BUT.... '26 is under $20M and '27 is under $220M

There is real room for optimism!!

Agreed.

McCarthy's HC options are the Saints and only the Saints.

Go interview all the young hot shots you want. He'll be there waiting.

This is 100% my speculation, but I wouldn't be too sure that McCarthy even wants the Saints job. He might be taking the interviews in case he gets a godfather offer. It's common for coaches who have a lot of years under their belt to take a year off to chill and wait for next year's carousel.

Brady staying with the Bills
Kingsbury and Moore not agreed to fave to face interviews


The Saints job under the current set up is a poison chalice and every coach knows it. Until Loomis and possibly Gayle(if she doesn't know act) are gone nothing will change woth Loomis ego still running things. The front office needs burning to the ground, they are still living off the 2017 draft.

Not sold on Brady anyway. He prolly got inside word he was not in top three. Probably a good thing. Same for Moore if true on the face to face.

KK is still doing work in the playoffs. So we'll see.

Still think they should bring Flores in Let it be a showdown between McCarthy, KK, and Flores. All are much more proven commodities than the others, IMHO.

I'd like Flores to get interviews. He's got that dog in him and the Vikings defense greatly overachieved under him.
