ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler: Saints Head Coach opening is a coveted job among people I’ve spoken to; Mike McCarthy could have interest
I think Loomis’ attitude and decision making have both reached a level that makes his position untenable and “coveted” feels like a big exaggeration but two things that a coach coming here doesn’t have to worry about: salary and job security. Whoever we hire is going to get 3 seasons, unless they completely lose the locker room.
In the case that this job is coveted, Gayle Benson should get her checkbook out and offer Mike Vrabel a long term contract that makes him the highest paid coach in the NFL. He did a very good job in Tennessee and if we can somehow find a franchise QB we’ll be perennial Super Bowl contenders with him. His CV is the most impressive by a long way (obviously helps that he’s been a HC before).
Failing that, Aaron Glenn is probably the best bet out of the remaining known interviewees. I wasn’t sold on him a few weeks ago, but he speaks in a way that DA never could and commands the respect of those he’s worked with.
