Head Coaching News and Rumors

Okay, what is worst case scenario here?

Is it, Rizzi is the only one who will take the job and we ride out 2 years of him as a coach until we are out of cap Hell and Gayle fires Loomis?

Of course, as long as Loomis is in place, cap Hell will probably be the norm.

Or is it, Moore takes the job, we get somewhat excited about the future only to watch the team get worse (which is ALWAYS possible) and we go through this again after a couple of seasons?

Of course, there is the chance the new hire does well, the team gets out of cap Hell and becomes a contender again. I mean, there's always a chance... right?

It feels like Weaver and Kafka, along with Rizzi himself, are the fallback candidates if Moore says no thanks.

Starting to get the feel of the “Island of misfit” Toys.

If I remember correctly that story ended with the toys being heroes and living happily ever after.

You can only assume the ending. Just because they ended up in Santa’s bag, doesn’t mean a deserving and appreciate child received them. And would you really want a train with square wheels?

I have a feeling we have become the Browns. We are now not wanted by anyone.

This is probably Mickey's last major decision as Saints General Manager - for better or for worse...

Of the four remaining guys I would take Kafka. None of these 4 candidates excites anyone but the fact that Kafka would bring Martindale might be the clincher for me. And it seems that Kafkas past few years are similar to Payton’s before he came here. All things being equal I will take him over Moore
