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

The article and placement of our opening is no surprise. Having said that, while most of us wanted Allen gone a long time ago, I always felt that Loomis giving him a much longer leash than many of us wanted (on top of pulling out all of the stops to remain competitive) could turn out to be a strong reason that a HC candidate might give us a longer look. I still feel that way.

In all likelihood, next year will be a struggle regardless of who we hire. The silver lining is that our new coach will know that he and his staff will be given time and every resource we have available to right the ship. That might potentially be enough to sway a top candidate. If not, there is no harm in rolling with Rizzi for another year.
