Underhill: Saints are interviewing probably 12 coaches (Tracker: officially 9 candidates) [Rapoport: Saints may add more]

How many interviews are too many? Best I can tell, we considered five coaches the year we hired Payton.

Donnie Henderson
Maurice Carthon
Sean Payton

From the perspective of a coach, if you know that the Saints are interviewing 12 candidates, do you really like interviewing here versus somewhere else where they've at least narrowed you down to their top five?
I think things are different now that we are in a Zoom interview world. You could interview 12+ guys through a video conference and then narrow that down to a handful that you bring to town. There seems to be big lists for other teams (Bears) looking.
