Report: Vrabel's OC could be McDaniels [mod edit]

Winter said

True, I think with Glenn or Rizzi we get more of the same with the report of Glenn keeping coaching staff. They could totally go in a different direction but with those guys I don't expect a drastic change to the team as it would be more of a Loomis hire than anything else. So yeah not a guarantee but more likely than if we brought in someone fresh imo.

I don't really buy that Glenn would keep the coaching staff or that he would just be a yes man to Loomis. Glenn has interviews with all 6 teams. He's an in demand coach so he doesn't have to settle for a job where he is a yes man to the GM. Plus, Glenn only spent a little over 4 years here as a player and coach total. It's not even the team that he spent the most time with.

And that's if it's even true that Loomis wants a yes man. Frankly, I think what Loomis wants is to hire the right coach to turn this around and save his job and legacy as Saints GM. If this hire fails, he will be remember as the guy that destroyed the Payton era team, not the guy that helped to build it. As I've said before I don't think Loomis' problem is that he wants yes men, his problem is that he is a yes man for any head coach he hires and gives them whatever they want. That worked when Payton was the head coach but was a disaster with DA as head coach because he agreed to do whatever dumb thing DA wanted him to do like overload the cap to sign Carr to a huge deal and tried to trade for Watson.
