ESPN’s Bill Barnwell rates the Saints as least desirable job for HC candidates [mod edit]

Honestly it’s a paint by numbers opinion piece. I’m shocked he ranks the Saints dead last in desirability.

Is it a perfect landing spot? Obviously not. There wouldn’t be a HC opening if it was perfect. The biggest knock is the cap situation but others have noted it’s going to clear up in 2026.

A head coach with vision can see that he’ll have an owner and front office willing to work with him. He’ll be able to truly build this team in his image. It’s almost a blank slate. That could be a turn off to some but to others they’ll see opportunity.
