The undesirable but most likely reality.

I agree.
There are only 32 of these positions in the world and only a few become available each year so they can’t be passed on when available even by the “good” coaches.
DA has had zero success as a HC anywhere and shows no promise of future success. Therefore there is no downside of moving on from him.

It’s a craps shoot on any hire.

Also the salary cap is only on the players so no problems there for a coach change.

So, you would want to pick up the 6th (just hypothetical) best option who would inevitably fail because the Saints are and should be in clean up cap mode which means we won’t be signing any difference makers and likely trying to rid ourself of high priced vets either by cut or trade.

In 2 years, the same people will be clamoring for a new coach for all the same reasons ESPECIALLY cuz it won’t be the hot new name that will get hired cuz those guys will be going to teams in better shape.

Again, I’m just thinking this thru and suspecting that this is why the Saints are supporting DA with the “look beyond the results” comments. 🤷‍♂️
