Head Coach if there is no GM change
IMO if there is no move in the front office we will hire a Head Coach that had no possible other options to be a NFL Head Coach.
Think someone like Joe Brady.
People like that. I think if Aaron Glenn had options like the Jets or Saints for example he would pick the Jets. If there are no options left then he would come here.
Head Coach and General Manager is a marriage of sorts or like having a business partner. It’s hard to create alignment with your business partner if they are near the end of their career and you’re in your prime.
Our General Manager is knocking on the door of 70 years old. Real Head Coaches w real options know this is a problem and they also want real control.
This setup is how we got DA. He was never going to get another chance. DA was also willing to cede control.
We need an alpha dog Head Coach and we won’t get it under these conditions.
Perhaps after having full control for three seasons Loomis has figured out that sure, with control comes credit, but also blame. At this point, unless his ego has become overinflated, he might be thinking that he was better off with a coach like Payton making the personnel decisions. At least that is my hope. Sure the team has been limited by an inordinate amount of injuries, but they have also been drafting and signing an inordinate amount of players with injury histories.
With all due respect to Max, I would say I am connected and try to drop nuggets when I can as well…Joe Brady will not be the Saints’ head coach barring a WILD turn of events and changing of opinions having unfolded behind the scenes. I’d be surprised if he’s anyone’s HC anytime soon TBH..

Emphasis on "Someone LIKE Joe Brady". I'm trying to figure out what it is that you are arguing.
I think that you upset members, including me, by scoffing at, or dismissing Max's post as if he's some ignorant dumbarse, which we all know isn't the case, as he is a highly valued and respected contributor to the discussions,
If I am a potential head coach weighing my options and I look at the Saints situation regarding personnel and the cap... well... let's just say that the Saints sure wouldn't be my first option. Sad, but true.
