Adam Schefter: I expect the Saints to have some level of interest in Mike Vrabel [mod edit]
Someone posted the following in another thread. They were right. There are only 32 of these jobs available. There
will be no shortage of qualified applicants.
“Qualified” is synonymous. By somes standards Dennis Allen was qualified, yet anyone with half a brain knew how that was gonna turn out. We very clearly watched Ben Johnson turn down the Panthers and others, opting to return to the Lions.
Smart coaches know they may only get one chance to succeed as a head coach, and will not want to take a job that puts them in position to fail like the Saints, Panthers, Browns and Raiders.
We often see coaches get a shot, fail, and never get a second chance.
This often leaves undesirable, or desperate for a chance type of coaches to take the head coaching jobs where the coach is setup to fail.
Really good candidates will wait for a good opportunity cause they know there will be new options every year. Which is exactly what Ben Johnson and Joe Brady did.
And make no mistake. Because of Loomis’ decisions with Dennis Allen and the cap, we are absolutely setting up the next coach to fail for quite some time.
The next head coach will decide the Loomis legacy. Was he a good GM or another Jerry Jones.
