Saints to interview Mike McCarthy at the end of this week near Jan 29-Feb 1 [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

McCarty is also a guy with the power and experience to tell Loomis that this roster is not ready and needs to be rebuilt. Loomis is going to trust that from a guy with McCarty's experience level whereas maybe he doesn't from a Joe Brady or Kellen Moore.
That part I do agree with...which is why we are not as bad of a destination for a coach as reported...
The larger problem is can Loomis really survive what is about to become some very lean years?
Whomever eventually fills the power vacuum will want to bring in their own hire--whether it's 1, 2 or 3 years from now...
