McCarthy will get us to the playoffs.

He may not win many playoff games.

Knowing Loomis, he would try and reach out to the late “Tom” Flores.

Determining the next head coach for the New Orleans Saints involves considering several factors such as the team's current state, the direction they want to take, and the candidates' track records. Here are some potential candidates based on recent reports and sentiment:

Aaron Glenn: He has been frequently mentioned across various sources as a strong contender for the position. Glenn has a history with the Saints, having played for and coached under Sean Payton. His experience as the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator and his familiarity with the organization make him a popular choice. He's noted for his leadership and understanding of what works in New Orleans.


Mike Vrabel: Although not as directly linked to the Saints, Vrabel's name has come up in discussions for his ability to build team culture and his success with the Tennessee Titans. His experience and coaching philosophy could be appealing to a Saints team looking to stabilize and grow.

Mike McCarthy: While he might not be the first choice for some due to age or recent performance, McCarthy has a Super Bowl win under his belt and could bring a level of experience and offensive-minded coaching that the Saints might need, especially if they decide to overhaul their offensive strategy.

Brian Flores: Known for his defensive acumen and his time as head coach for the Miami Dolphins, Flores could be an intriguing choice. He was interviewed during previous hiring cycles and has connections to the area, having been born in New York but with strong ties to the NFL community. His ability to rally players and his defensive schemes could be a fit for the Saints' needs.

Joe Brady: With his background as LSU's pass game coordinator and his stint in the NFL, Brady has been mentioned as a candidate, especially if the Saints are looking for someone to invigorate their offense. His odds to be the next head coach have been noted in betting circles, suggesting some level of speculation or support for his candidacy.


Darren Rizzi: As the interim coach following Dennis Allen's departure, Rizzi has the advantage of familiarity with the team, having been part of the Saints' coaching staff for several years. His potential to be more than just a temporary solution depends on how the team performs under his leadership.


Jon Gruden: Speculation exists around Gruden, although his return to coaching would be controversial due to his past issues. If the Saints aim for a high-profile name with prior success, Gruden might be considered, but this would come with its own set of challenges.

Bobby Slowik: Mentioned in broader coaching searches, Slowik's work with the Houston Texans has put him in the conversation for head coaching positions, including potentially with the Saints, especially if they're looking at offensive coordinators for their next head coach.


In conclusion, the choice would largely depend on whether the Saints prioritize continuity, cultural fit, or a fresh perspective. Aaron Glenn seems to be the most frequently suggested name, but the decision will ultimately be influenced by the team's vision for the future, interviews, and the candidates' visions for the team.

As of the latest information available:

Speculation and Interest: There has been significant speculation about Deion Sanders potentially coaching the New Orleans Saints. Various sources have linked Sanders with the Saints due to the team firing their head coach, Dennis Allen, and seeking a new leader. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has noted that the Saints might be interested in hearing what Sanders has to say, suggesting they could reach out to him during their search for a new head coach.


Sanders' Stance: Deion Sanders has expressed that the only scenario in which he would consider leaving his current position at the University of Colorado for an NFL job is if he could coach both of his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. This condition adds a layer of complexity to any potential move to the NFL, as it would depend on where his sons end up, particularly Shedeur, who is projected to be a high draft pick.


Other Considerations:
Sanders has built a strong reputation at the college level, turning around the Colorado Buffaloes program. His success and charisma have made him a notable figure in coaching circles, leading to speculation about his next move.
However, his lack of direct NFL coaching experience might be a concern for some teams, although his playing career and understanding of the professional game could be seen as assets.
The Saints are looking for someone who can potentially bring a "splash" hiring, akin to what Sean Payton represented for them previously. Sanders' high profile fits this mold.

Final Decision: Given these points, while there's clear interest from the Saints and Sanders is being considered, the decision would hinge on several factors:
Sanders' willingness to leave college football for the NFL.
The alignment of his sons' NFL futures with the Saints or another team.
The Saints' evaluation of whether Sanders' coaching style, philosophy, and lack of NFL coaching experience align with their needs.

In summary, while there's a possibility, it's contingent on Sanders' personal conditions, team fit, and how the NFL coaching carousel plays out in relation to his sons. The situation is speculative, and no definitive commitment from either side has been publicly confirmed as of now.
