Head Coaching News and Rumors

TheOak · 01-31-2025, 06:20 AM

As painful and inconvenient as reality can be, we often need a dose of it. New Orleans was not the first choice for either Sean Payton or Drew Brees and nothing has changed in the front office since 2006 to change that. One could argue that we are less attractive now with a disengaged owner.

Sean desperately wanted to coach the Giants and when he read that the job went to McCarthy he threw his phone. Loomis did not lure him away from Dallas.

Drews first choice was Miami, we did not attract him until his options were limited.

Who has Sean openly stated was his mentor? His mentor on a daily basis was Tom Benson and he has stated that publicly.

If we want to be a team that attracts talent we need to name a Head Coach that players want to play for above everything else. We need to also stop pretending that Mickey Loomis is anything but a contract manager because in the word of football where things matter on the field he is not on anyone's radar. It is time to ask your roster who they want to play for; if your team wants to play for someone, chances are other teams players want to play for them as well.

Slight correction... it was GB, not the Giants. Point remains the same, however.

Is what you consider a disengaged owner less attractive than an owner like Jerry Jones?
