I like Rizzi because the players like Rizzi. Not some of them, but most, if not all of the players like him. They are bought in. You cannot discount the importance of such. I don't care if he is a special teams coach, any veteran coach in the NFL fully understands the X's and O's across the board, Plus, I think he's likely better at player evaluation, as a little birdy told me that Rizzo and Galiano are the two that spotted and brought in Shaheed, for example.

I do not particularly like the current list of candidates that the Saints have shown us. None of the candidates make me say... "Yeah! Let's get that guy!" If I had to pick one, it would probably be McCarthy, and I wouldn't be excited about that pick either.

I would probably go with Rizzi, as this is likely going to be a transition season with significant player turnover anyway, at least you maintain a cohesive locker room and possibly keep valued assistant coaches, as for example, I want to see more of coaches like Kubiak, Galiano, et al. if it doesn't work out you can always let Rizzi go and hire someone else after next season when the Saints will be in a more attractive position cap wise, and there may be better options in the coaching market.

REBELMAX... as always, appreciate the insight!

It really does make sense to view next season as a transition year. Hire a coach that can manage the turnover and help maintain a good culture despite being severely talent starved and try to secure a top pick in the draft.

If they think Kellen Moore is someone special. The path for him to succeed is going to be so difficult and doing that while trying to win 7 or 6 games isn't going to help him long term.

The problem with next year... How many wins can you afford to get the #1 or #2 pick. Are we going to be bad enough to only win 2 games? It could be possible if the roster purge happens and we move on from Carr.

Just have extreme doubts that FO will be okay with going against their tendency with being BAD BAD as means to get through this cap situation faster and go after a new franchise QB.

The Saints organization is the longest standing franchise to go without drafting a 1st round QB since 1971.

The next closet team... Dallas Cowboys with Troy Aikman in 1989.

I would be very happy with trying a different strategy to return us back to a winning team that doesn't take us on a 4 year grind of 6 or 7 win season.

I mean, yeah...but his system clearly works. It always has, with proper talent.
We draft the guys and he could take us there. He's coming to NOLA for the super bowl...hopefully he gets a good impression.

I would hope he will come here for the SB already having taken the job as our HC. We are the last team left so we don't have to act quickly, but if we wait two more weeks to make a hire, it's going to be more difficult to put together a good staff.

No way, you always swing for the fences on a coach, settle on a coach is defeat already. It would be a worse look for the team to hire internally again and waste another 3 yrs and put the franchise even closer to jets, raiders level of incompetence. Rizzi would be the worst hire of all candidates so far. The idea of admitting defeat at this point is ridiculous. You don’t tank for the 1st pick, you build until you can take a shot at a franchise QB.

That's probably a perspective we need to look at as a fanbase. Do we want someone who with some patience can be very good and grow with a rebuild. Or do we want a coach like McCarthy who will want to compete now.
 
No way I'm taking Moore. I know some Cowboys fans and they were mad McCarthy left. Said they wouldnt touch Moore.

How are we supposed to build being $50 million over cap this year and once we get under cap. Be over 2026 cap too.

This is an entirely unique position that any NFL team has been in... And frankly... You don't have 5 years to rebuild the team and then go for a franchise QB.
