It seems like other teams are kicking the tires on Used Cars around the league.
Ron Rivera (Bears HC)
Robert Saleh (49ers DC)
Mike Tomlin (Trade bait)

Other names being batted about:
Pete Carroll
Kliff Kingsbury
Mike Vraebel
John Gruden
Rex Ryan

Any of these neames even intrigue you for the Saints HC job?

Not one

The only name on that list worth considering is Tomlin and I don't think he is going anywhere.

keithday123 · 01-12-2025, 03:22 PM

Gruden for sure. Tomlin only if a trade wasn’t involved.

Nope.

A lot of used cars with super high mileage.

The Saints desperately need a hungry coach. Someone that's starving.

The game has evolved & new blood is necessary.

It sure seems like Steelers players have been quitting on Tomlin these past couple of years.
