I would just add this, the 2 losses he has were close games against the Commanders and Rams. It's clear the Rams are playing at a very high level since getting their playmakers back. Saints held them scoreless in the first half. Maybe that was a bit of a fluke, but being competitive in every single game has to be worth acknowledging at least.
I don't know that it's enough to earn an interview for the permanent HC position, but it seems prudent to at least give it some consideration.
