Parcells: I might return to do friend Payton a favor

I am concerned that it will be so blatantly obvious that the Saints are going to hire Parcells no matter what, that the 'minority' candidate may file a grievance against the Saints.

Other than getting an all-expense paid trip to New Orleans for a few days, why bother going to a job interview that you know you aren't going to get?

When there is an announcement that a minority coach candidate is in New Orleans for an interview, that will be all the confirmation we need that Parcells is going to coach the Saints!

One wonders why we're being held to the Rooney rule anyway. Payton is under contract and this is an interim position.

Exactly. I can't see the rule applying here. It's an interim position, I don't ever remember any other team having to interview minority candidates for temporary positions??

I can't believe this is even happening! The Big Tuna in Nola to coach for a year??? I tell you one thing, I doubt we see many threads on the forum this year about why The Saints aren't getting any media coverage, that's for sure!!
