Saints planned to interview Mike McCarthy; McCarthy didn’t garner enough interest from Saints and will take a year off

He won a SB in Green Bay and managed to win and go to the playoffs in Dallas with Jerry Jones as his GM.

I'm warming to the idea, and I would still prefer an offensive-minded guy over a defensive one.

There are people who want to fully separate from the SP years and start fresh, but they're probably going with familiarity.
