I like them both but I’m warming up to Weaver.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Kliff Kingsbury has pulled out of contention for the Saints job.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Smart move for Kliff. He probably already sees that Moore is likely the guy.

Plus he’s getting paid like a HC with the Commanders.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

It says "prior ro the SB". It said nothing about him coming early. They are probably just meeting with him since he will be in town. sheesh

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Hmm…

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Yeah, second person to back out. Because they don't want the job, or because they feel like someone else already has it locked up?

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Usually you'd need to make a payment on Onlyfans to see this many guys pull out at once.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

3rd.

Aaron Glenn
Joe Brady
Kliff Kingsbury

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Can't believe you went there. Don't get me wrong, got a good laugh out of it, but can't believe you went there.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

They don’t want it.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

And now McCarthy just pulled out.



Don't visualize it.

If I were Mickey I would start a whole new round of interviews. Flores, Freeman, Riley, monken.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

If I were Mickey Loomis I would start a whole new round of interviews. McDonalds, Burger King, Popeyes, Taco Bell... because that is where Mickey Loomis is qualified to work.

Brian Flores is not really an option. He is suing the league. It is well known in league circles that any team that hires him will mysteriously set a single season record for enforced penalty yardage against them.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Something Mickey Loomis's father should have done.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

It's almost like a girl inviting a guy to come over for dinner.
He suddenly isn't hungry when he sees how filthy her kitchen is!

I'm sensing a trend. It's not good.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

I don't know what to think about this to be honest..

I've watched a couple press conferences with Kellen Moore .. I sure hope I'm wrong if we end up with this guy, but he just does not look like a true leader to me.
... Maybe he's got what it takes but something is off imo..
Have to be able to get these guys to run through a brick wall and just by watching those interviews I would think twice about running to the store for that guy..

Somebody help sell this dude as a HC to me please..




Okay I went did some digging and found this...





🦅Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni gave his opinion on Kellen Moore possibly becoming next Saints head coach
“Just can’t say enough good things about what he’s done here as our coordinator, how much I think of him as a play-caller and offensive coordinator,” Sirianni said on Jan. 10. “I think of him very highly as a person. A great man of character and everything he stands for. I think he would be — yeah, I should temper — a great head coach. I have no doubt in my mind.” #Saints #WhoDat

Re: 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?

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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?

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

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

The Saints are like the cooter on a 90 year old woman; everyone knows it's down there, but no one gives a damn!

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Is this guy available? Would be the first coach I would buy a jersey for. Goodell also cant punish you for what he can not understand.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

I like his take

Despite short-term challenges, Saints are a solid long-term destination for a new coach

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Yup. It makes perfect sense.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Actually,, the toys were rescued by a benevolent outsider. No such luck on Who Dat Island. :bng:

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

Florio is saying pretty nice things about us. Am i high?!

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

He has his moments. Let's not forget that he was one of the very few, if not the only one, that didn't buy Goodell's bullcrap claims about a Saints bounty system.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

No, Mickey Loomis, who he is saying nice things about, is. The fact is that the Saints do have a meddling owner as bad as Daniel Snyder or Jerry Jones, and similar in many lifestyle choices to Jim Irsay, but that owner doesnt actually own the team, he is just a business guy with no football expertise who things he’s a genius, except instead of actually being good enough at business or related to someone good enough at business to own a team, he defauded some vulnerable seniors into letting him play at being owner, Mickey Loomis.

The reality is that Florio is no cap expert. He doesnt understand that much like Jerry Krause was a loser without Jordan and Knight, Loomis has never won without Brees and Payton. He also doesn’t understand that Loomis’s means of getting out of a cap mess has never been to rebuild, only to double down on aging injury prone vets with restructure, and that likely means Jordan, Hill, Kamara, Carr, Mathieu, Davis, Mr Concussion Olave, etc playing on the Saints until age 40 or beyond regardless of performance.

Also, its easy to say that Kellen Moore cleared the field, but nobody knows Moore’s latest contract demands. Plenty of teams have a favorite they will most likely hire for coach but in no other cases have so many others backed out. Moore is in a position to demand $100 million if the Saints are out of other options.

Re: Head Coaching News and Rumors
 

What does it matter to you, or any of us, if Moore gets $100 million?

By the way, did you even read the article? Florio points out the very fact that you said he was ignoring when he wrote the following:

"What do the Saints have? An owner who is patient and doesn’t meddle. A General Manager who has built teams that consistently contended, when they topped off the rest of the roster with a great coach and a great quarterback.

While neither are easy to find, that’s arguably all the Saints are missing. And so they hire a first-time coach in Moore (like they did 18 years ago with Payton) and they find a quarterback, like they did 18 years ago when Drew Brees was a free agent and the Dolphins didn’t want him."
